The Centennial Bridge has served as a vital connection between Rock Island and Davenport for more than 85 years. Due to aging infrastructure and ongoing maintenance needs, IDOT and Iowa DOT are conducting a study to identify long-term solutions to improve safety, traffic flow and overall connectivity in the Quad Cities.

The improvement alternatives being presented were developed using community feedback and engineering analysis, with environmental considerations in mind. The project team wants to hear from the public about how well these alternatives address community priorities and what matters most as the project moves toward selecting a preferred alternative.

Members of the public who are unable to attend in person can review all meeting materials and submit comments online at www.CentennialBridge.com. Comments received by Feb. 11 will be included in the official meeting record.

About the U.S. 67 (Centennial Bridge) corridor project

IDOT and Iowa DOT launched the U.S. 67 (Centennial Bridge) corridor project to evaluate long-term transportation solutions for the corridor connecting Rock Islandand Davenport. The study limits extend from Seventh Avenue in Rock Island to Fifth Street in Davenport.

The project is currently in Phase I, which follows federal guidelines to assess transportation needs, develop and evaluate alternatives, identify and mitigate potential environmental impacts, and gather public input. The goal is to identify a feasible solution that improves safety, mobility and connectivity while supporting the region's long-term transportation needs. Phase I is expected to conclude in summer 2027.
