New I-74 project Web page updated with video

DAVENPORT, Iowa – July 28, 2009 –  Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) announces a new Web site dedicated to information on the Interstate 74 corridor reconstruction project in the Quad Cities.

The I-74 project, to improve traffic flow and mobility along the corridor and provide a functional and aesthetically pleasing bridge across the Mississippi River, is a joint effort of the Iowa and Illinois departments of transportation, in cooperation with other agencies and officials.

The project Web site, www.iowadot.gov/i74corridor (note the lowercase “i” following the slash), is an update to the previous project Web site dedicated to the corridor study. The new Web pages include a “fly through” video of the proposed corridor improvements, photo gallery and links to environmental documents. Throughout the next few years of planning and construction, this Web site will provide the most up-to-date information for the public.

A link to this new site is also available from the Iowa DOT’s home page: http://www.iowadot.gov/
