Government Bridge Closing

WVIK News

Local motorists will want to avoid Government Bridge for several hours on Friday. It will be closed to vehicle traffic for an inspection from 8:15 am until 2 pm. 

Pedestrians and trains will not be affected, crossing between Davenport and Arsenal Island, but cars and trucks will have to use one of the other bridges. 

The closing will also not affect river traffic. 

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
