Starting July 22, 2024, travelers on eastbound Interstate 80 should brace for delays as construction begins over the Rock River, impacting traffic flow in Rock Island and Henry counties. This necessary maintenance involves patching the bridge deck, which demands a lane closure through July 26th. Those planning to use this route are advised to seek alternate paths to avoid the construction area.
Drivers are urged to pay close attention to changed conditions and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits, refrain from using mobile devices, and be alert for workers and equipment.
