I-74

The Helm Group continues to tear down what's left of the old I-74 bridge. On Sunday around 7:30 A.M., the contractor successfully blew up the remaining towers and cables of the westbound bridge.

The Helm Group and a subcontractor will use explosives to finish off the westbound towers and cables of the bridge in the Quad Cities.

The demolition of the Illinois-bound towers and cables went off without a hitch. That's according to the project team's social media posts.

In June or July, a contractor will demolish the towers and cables on the Illinois-bound side of the old, I-74 bridge in the Quad Cities.

The former mayor of Pittsburgh says Moline "has the great river of America running through your city," and you should take advantage of it.

The City of Bettendorf will not build an elevator for the new, I-74 bridge pedestrian and bike path.

The demolition of the old I-74 bridge is going well and will continue through the cold winter months.

After testing it over the last month, the decorative lighting system on the new, I-74 bridge is "good to go."

The I-74 bridge project team has awarded a demolition contract for the old bridge to a familiar company -- the Helm Group, also known as Civil Constructors.

For the next month, Bettendorf and Moline employees will test the special lighting system on the new, I-74 bridge.
