MOLINE, Ill. — Traffic was reduced by a lane on John Deere Road near the I-74 interchange Saturday due to pavement buckling.
Illinois Department of Transportation says, "Pavement failures or blowouts occur when prolonged high temperatures cause the road to expand and buckle up or blow out, resulting in uneven driving surfaces. Precipitation and humidity increase the potential for buckling".
Crews are working on the pavement right now.
Pavement failures can be reported to IDOT by calling 800-452-4368 or by reaching out to law enforcement via 911.
