Interstate 74 Bridge Demolition in Bettendorf, Iowa (with SLOW MO FOOTAGE)

Built in 1959, the former Illinois-bound bridge span of Interstate 74 across the Mississippi River was demolished on June 18th, 2023. This is one of the two old I-74 bridges, the second one being the much older but identical Iowa-bound span. The Iowa-bound span will come down later this fall. The new I-74 bridge is seen in the background.
