MOLINE -- City officials have announced 6th Avenue will be closed at 19th Street starting July 17 as contractors move a water main in anticipation of the new Interstate 74 bridge.
The new bridge -- with two spans of four lanes and full shoulders -- will go up just east of the existing structure. The replacement includes amenities such as a recreation trail and an overlook.
The 6th Avenue closure is scheduled to continue for a couple of weeks, Moline City Engineer Scott Hinton said. The work involves moving a water main.
