The oculus is a nice touch at the overlook. I imagine many suicidal people will enjoy getting a nice look through the bridge deck before they jump!
Your chance to get an up-close-and-personal look at the new I-74 bridge

You’ve been pimping this bridge….what’s your angle other than using it to get over the river?
I’m suspicious of you

The OP is grooming HROT members to be bridge users.

I love bridge architecture. Very cool bridge! Thanks for posting.
It’s amazing how pedestrian bridges, which for so long were designed with, well, very boring (one could say “pedestrian”) architecture, have become statement pieces for communities within the past 15 years or so.

I’d say get over it, but that’s just what Torbee would want.
I’m assuming there will be a lot of police presence due to all of the spontaneous public masturbation caused by the sheer beauty of such a structure.

LOL, my interest is not that fascinating. It's been a longtime project in the works for more than 30 years here -- was one of the first issues I wrote about when I got my first newspaper job in the Quad Cities in 1998 and have been following it closely since.
It is the largest infrastructure project in Quad Cities history -- and one of the largest ever in Iowa and outside of Chicago, one of the largest in Illinois history as well. In fact, when construction started, it was the single-largest infrastructure project being undertaken in the ENTIRE COUNTRY (circa 2017-18 or so).
Plus, it's a good looking bridge!
Hey, at least the QCA is experiencing urban renewal. I will be back again this summer to get my QCA pizza. Last time, thanks to @torbee I tried Franks in Sylvis. This time, something diff maybe.
Air show is coming back for 2023 with the Thunderbirds. Been a while since I saw the USAF in the QCA. Will be a bummer with no jets this year though.

I absolutetely love the bridge. .. unfortunately we live in the QC which means we still have the worst drivers on the planet (outside of Wisconsin). The on-ramp between River and Middle (Iowa bound) is a death trap because people are morons. ... as well as the on-ramp to illinois from River Dr. Hopefully people figure it out or they modify it somehow because I've about been blasted a few times by people that don't realize lanes are ending.
Rabbit turd sausage and frozen dough from TPC. Yum!enjoy your minced sausage falling off your pizza

Every single legit QC pizza purveyor uses fresh local ground meat and makes their own dough.
Try again, dipshit.

Enjoy the instant diarrhea -- it is Rocky Rococos.now this pizza looks delicious!
clearly not QC style
Figures you'd like that nasty ass butt destroying crap 😂
don't hating on Rock Rococos!!
does this guy not look like someone who knows good pizza???
Maaaaybe I'm wrong on the dough but in my defense, it still sucks.
I'm on board with everything else QC-related you bring up, so keep those going.... dipshit
Now, for those that want something original that doesn't taste the EXACT same as every other place in the QC, try Lopiez.

I was woefully uninspired by Lopiez. I thought it really lacked flavor.Maaaaybe I'm wrong on the dough but in my defense, it still sucks.

If we did a blind taste test, I guarantee you couldn't tell the difference between Uncle Bills vs any other QC style pizza

You underestimate my palate.Let's do it!
Spoiler alert:
I guarantee you I could pick out Frank's, Uncle Bill's, Harris and Wise Guys. They all have pretty unique characteristics to those who consume them regularly.
That looks like the kind of place that has a basement. @hort repubsFirst -- call me and I'll go with. But if you can't, get your pizza from here:
