Quad City bridge projected to cost $791 million

February 29, 2008 By admin

We hear plenty about the costs of repairing bridges, but Quad City residents may be suffering from sticker shock after hearing the estimated price of building a new span over the Mississippi River. Denise Bulat, director of the Bi-State Planning Commission, says the proposed new Interstate 74 bridge between Bettendorf, Iowa, and Moline, Illinois, will cost 791-million dollars.

She says it’s hoped construction can begin on the project in 2012 to 2015, from a design and right-of-way perspective. "But, of course," Bulat adds, "we need those dollars and this obviously has a large price tag." The financial report was done for the Iowa D.O.T. She adds, the numbers reflect today’s dollars and the bridge will end up costing more.
