Is this the bison bridge?



One side of the old I-74 bridge will be demolished with controlled explosives starting early Sunday, June 18, 2023.

The Iowa Department of Transportation on Monday announced plans to use controlled explosives during the removal of suspension cables and towers on the old eastbound bridge spanning the Mississippi River between Bettendorf and Moline.

The demolition operation is scheduled to take place on Sunday, June 18 beginning as early as 7 a.m., weather permitting, the DOT release said. The demolition contractor, Helm Group, will use controlled explosives to remove the suspension cables and towers on the eastbound bridge. The use of explosives will require a temporary closure of the new I-74 bridge to vehicles and pedestrians.
