This live camera points at the Mississippi River crossing at Bettendorf, Iowa, a city on the river's western bank facing Davenport. It is useful for checking how the river and the bridge look right now before you travel or plan a walk along the water.
About the river crossing
Bettendorf sits on the Mississippi where the river forms the boundary between Iowa and Illinois. The Quad Cities, which include Davenport and Bettendorf, grew up around the river's rapids and its bridges. The Mississippi here is broad and slow, and the surrounding landscape is flat farmland and wooded bluffs typical of the upper Midwest.
What to watch on the stream
The title names a bridge over the river, so the feed is most likely to show water traffic, the bridge structure and the shoreline. Depending on the view, you may see barges, river boats and changing light over the water. Mornings and evenings tend to be calmer and more colourful, while summer afternoons bring more boats. Check the stream and weather blocks on this page to see conditions at the moment you visit.
Climate and getting around
Summers in this part of Iowa are warm and humid, with frequent thunderstorms, while winters are cold and snowy. Late spring and early autumn are generally the most comfortable times to be by the river. Davenport is just across the water, and the nearby Figge Museum is a short distance away. A second Scott County camera on the same bridge is listed among the nearby cameras.
