The Moline Police Department wants you to know a few things before you cross the Iowa bound span of the I-74 Bridge when it opens.

Quad Citians are excited the Iowa bound span of the I-74 bridge is going to open this Friday after work began on two years ago.

Here's the complete post in case you missed it.

Who says Friday the 13th's are supposed to be scary and filled with bad luck?

They even give a nod and a head's up to the Bettendorf Police Department that basically says if you try to get away with speeding the Bettendorf PD will be at the exit waiting for you. Well played, ...well played.
