A key project in the multi-year effort to reduce congestion on John Deere Road is nearly finished. The new overpass at 38th Street in Moline is open, but its connection to the nearby stores and restaurants is not yet done.
John Wegmeyer, from the Dixon office of the Illinois Department of Transportation, says cold weather is holding up the re-paving of 40th Avenue from 38th Street, west to the Cloverleaf trailer park.
He says next spring crews will re-configure the north side where Coaltown Road intersects with 38th Street.

And once that's done, then left turn lanes will be eliminated from John Deere Road, at 38th Street.
The $13 million overpass is part of a $47 million project to widen the road to six lanes, east of Interstate-74.
