The Mississippi is second only to the Hudson Bay drainage system. Watch the incredible time-lapse video of the $1.2 billion I-74 Mississippi River Bridge project as it rises up out of the Mississippi River.
EarthCam captured over a million images of the 8-lane bridge, which sees over 80,000 vehicles cross it daily via I-74, and spans from Bettendorf, IA to Moline, IL.
"Webcams and live-video feeds of construction on the I-74 River Bridge project have had a tremendous positive impact, allowing the public to appreciate and feel a part of the hard work that goes into building the structure," said Tracy Morse, President/CEO, Images, Inc.
