To allow for a water service repair just to the north of 7th Avenue on 38th Street, the two northbound lanes of 38th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues will be closed to through traffic starting Friday, June 1, 2018. Traffic will be maintained for southbound lanes along 38th Street during the repair work. For northbound traffic at the intersection of 38th Street and 7th Avenues, traffic will first detour eastward along 7th Avenue, then north on 44th Street, and then connect onto 6th Avenue to complete the detour around the repair area. 

Travel delays can be expected during the construction at or near this location. Pending favorable weather and commencement, the anticipated date of completion and resumption of normal traffic is within the next week. Please follow all posted construction signs for detour directions as needed, and watch for trucks entering and leaving the construction zones. The City of Rock Island is sorry for any inconvenience due to this road work and appreciates the patience and consideration of the traveling public.
