The second arch on the new I-74 bridge was set in place Wednesday morning, and ironworkers are securing it with more than 4,000 bolts. The goal is to complete the Illinois-bound bridge and open it to traffic by the end of the year.
It's part of the $1.2 billion I-74 project, which also includes nearly eight miles of interstate in the Quad Cities.
