Truss no one


June 19, 2021: The underside of the Iowa approach to the old I-74 bridges.

Deconstruction continues on the I-74 Mississippi River bridge following the decision last year not to bring it down with explosives.

WQAD has a story about the dismantling process, which is expected to last another year. Underneath that story is a video about the demolition of the old Rock Island County Courthouse at the foot of the Centennial Bridge.

KWQC has a collection of photos from the Iowa DOT of the current status of the bridge. The roadbed has been removed entirely, leaving only the metal beams and superstructure.
