Due to ongoing construction of the new I-74 Mississippi River Bridge, the current mainline of westbound Interstate 74 through the Quad Cities utilizes several ramps and at-grade crossings on both ends of the Iowa-Illinois Memorial Bridge. Iowa-bound traffic utilizes a portion of the new bridge approach to the future eastbound off-ramp to River Drive in Moline. From there motorists connect with River Drive and the adjacent loop ramp onto the old bridge into Iowa.

The new I-74 Bridge is under construction along the east side of the Iowa-Illinois Memorial Bridge.
I-74 traffic again lowers to grade level at U.S. 67 in Bettendorf before rejoining the freeway via the 14th Street on-ramp on Kimberly Road.
The I-74 mainline navigates through an S-curve below the future Mississippi River Bridge approach to a signalized intersection with U.S. 67 (Grant Street) west of Downtown Bettendorf, Iowa.
