Get ready to explore the Quad Cities in an exciting new way!
We’re thrilled to announce that the bike and pedestrian path on the new I-74 bridge is anticipated to open to the public by the end of April.
Very soon, you’ll be checking out the view on the gorgeous scenic overlook. If you don’t mind heights, go ahead and stand on the glass oculus for a unique view of the Mississippi River and boats passing by below the bridge. (Don’t worry, the oculus is made of thick, tempered glass that is safe to stand on.) As the sun sets, the path will be lit up and you’ll get a great view of the color-changing arches!

Access the new path at Grant St/US 67 in Bettendorf and River Drive in Moline. The path connects to trails on both sides of the river.
Heads up: While State Street and 12th Street are under construction in Bettendorf, bicyclists and pedestrians should watch for signage directing them through the area to get from the river bridge path to the Riverfront Trail.
