I-74 Corridor video

I don't think I posted this 2 years ago when it was released. I just ran across it the other day and don't remember watching it before. It gives an excellent rundown of all parts of the new I-74 bridge project, along with the entire I-74 corridor changes. That includes what's now being done at the 53rd Street interchange. The video also confirms that the actual bridge will be 4 lanes in each direction. Talk about a change for the better!

    This brings back memories. I showed this video to my apprentices about two years ago at the Iron workers Training Facility in Rock Island.Our bullet points where the same.

    #1 available "funding" limitations
    #2 construction over "several"years
    #3 "environmental" studies
    #4 land "acquisitions"
    #5 "estimated" total cost $1.5
    billion.

    I would love to see this project
    done in my life time. We've been
    repairing I-74 before I was an
    apprentice in 1978.
