If you regularly visit the Rock Island Arsenal or use the Arsenal Bridge to access Rock Island or Moline, you have likely already heard – the foot of the bridge is getting a travel makeover beginning March 18. The project, constructed by the Rock Island Arsenal Department of Public Works, at the bridge’s entry and exit in Davenport, is in cooperation and support of the City of Davenport.
This exciting project will transform access on and off the bridge by installing a roundabout. What’s not so exciting, is the trade-off for modernization will require closing access to the bridge from Davenport. Closure is set to begin March 18 and expected to last through mid-to-late July. Use an alternate route during construction. We will provide updates as our partners at the Arsenal replace the existing antiquated traffic triangle and install a roundabout that is sure to keep travel moving swiftly and with improved safety.
