The new bicycle and pedestrian path on the Interstate 74 bridge delayed its public opening to spring.
The City of Moline said in a media release, the bridge general contractor and the cities of Moline and Bettendorf decided to wait until the spring, despite construction on the path expected to wrap up in the next several weeks.
“We know many are eagerly awaiting the new path,” said communications and outreach coordinator for the I-74 project I-74 Bridge Project Kristina Kuehling. “Construction is anticipated to be completed in the next several weeks, however, after careful consideration, the path will remain closed until the spring.”
The public works staff in Moline and Bettendorf consulted on the decision, the City of Moline said.
