thanks for posting this.We had a motel in Le Claire,ia. Found out that we could go west on 80 over the river to get to the motel,but could not come back east over the bridge without taking a 30 mile detour.We found a motel in Clinton,ia. instead.

Hi all
This is important to pay attention to this closure. The I-80 bridge is closed for rigs heading into Illinois from the western route, like Nebraska, Kansas, and probably most Minnesota racers. Its not bad if you simply take the I-280 route on the western side of Davenport, and then come back towards the first exit in Illinois on I-80. Once on I-280, the exit is called the big X, where I-280, I-74, and I-80 all meet up. At the big X, you get back on I-80, and then exit on route 84 going north towards Cordova.

If you miss the I-280 exit (when going west to east), you could take the I-74 bridge to cross the Mississippi. But that bridge is narrow and congested during peak traffic. It will be a hair raising experience towing a wide rig across it.

When you leave Cordova, the I-80 bridge is also narrowed down, and its probably best to not use it at all.

Motel's to seek out would be near I-74 in Moline. Driving route 84 through the city is a great way to get lost! Its very confusing as the river runs east-west in the quad cities, and then angles north near east Moline.
