What to Know About Changes to John Deere Road

Changes are happening along John Deere Road. Here's how it will affect your travel.

I was about to merge on to John Deere Road in Moline from I-74 and that panic feeling set in. I suddenly recalled the construction and traffic changes I forgot to check on before heading on this route for our family Easter celebration.

Thankfully, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be and delays were minimal. More temporary changes are coming, so here are a few things from WQAD.com you need to know.

1.) Drivers trying to get from westbound I-74 onto eastbound John Deere Road will be detoured because the ramp will be closed starting at 10 a.m.

2.) Traffic signals on John Deere Road will be shifted starting at 7 p.m.  The intersections between 70th Street and 41st Street will be moved over to the west.

Note that between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m., traffic signals may not quite match up in the grid of its respective lane.

"Please be very cautious during this time," read a statement about the project.

3.) Head-to-head traffic will begin at 10 p.m., Monday.  Traffic coming from the I-74 interchange will be directed into the new head-to-head pattern.

It's important to know there are more than I have listed here. Get the FULL LIST of the traffic changes on John Deere Road here.
