ROCK ISLAND COUNTY, Ill. — Starting July 31, the Illinois Department of Transportation will start construction on I-88 in Rock Island County.
Repairs will be made to the following bridges along the interstate:
- Zuma Creek, east of Old Illinois 2
- Canoe Creek, southwest of the Hillsdale-Port Byron
- Meredosia Ditch up at the Rock Island-Whiteside County line
This $3.9 million project will reduce the number of open lanes to traffic, and is anticipated to wrap up by the end of November.
Over the next six years the Illinois DOT is improving more than 3,000 miles of highway and about 10 million square feet of bridge deck.
