Moline Closes River Drive

As the Mississippi River continues to rise, the city of Moline has closed River Drive, from 23rd Street to 55th Street. 

Motorists should remember that it takes very little water to float a vehicle or to become trapped within your vehicle. Drivers should also remember not to drive through flood water or around barricades.  

While River Drive is closed, there'll be access to homes and businesses, at 23rd Street, 34th Street, 41st Street, and 55th Street.  

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
