Work on I-74 and 280 in Rock Island County resumes April 6

MOLINE - The Illinois Department of Transportation announced today that weather permitting, construction on Interstates 74 and 280 will resume Monday, April 6. The work zone will be from the Henry County line to the Milan Beltway and includes the ramps at the I-74 and U.S. 6 interchange.

The $11.5 million project will patch and resurface the road, including the ramps at the I-74 and U.S. 6 interchange. Work was done in the eastbound lanes in 2025, and this year's work will focus on the westbound lanes. One lane of traffic will be closed to traffic during the project, which is scheduled to be completed in July.

Drivers are urged to pay close attention to changed conditions and signs in the work zone areas, obey the posted speed limits, refrain from using mobile devices and be alert for workers and equipment.

Over the next six years, IDOT is planning to improve 7,107 lane miles of highway and 8.4 million square feet of bridge deck as part of Rebuild Illinois, which is investing $33.2 billion into all modes of transportation. Accomplishments through Year Six of Rebuild Illinois include almost $20.8 billion of improvements statewide to 21,309 lane miles of highway, 815 bridges and 1,181 additional safety improvements.
