The flood won't be a problem, however there are concerns with construction. Stay on I-80 or I-280 to cross the river (I-280 will give you a better look at the flood). I-74, which cuts through the Quad Cities, is closed and has a bunch of detours to get you across the river. If you aren't from the area avoid it like the plague, I live here and I avoid it.

Before you get into Iowa take a look at https://www.511ia.org/. You can put in your route and see the closed roads and construction.

Nebraska City is the other side of the state from Davenport/the Quad Cities.
Interstate 80 crosses the Mississippi (south to north) and then hooks ot the west for a nice five hour drive to the Missouri River and crossing into Nebraska. Interstate 280 is essentially a bypass it runs south of the Illinois Quad Cities then hooks north, crosses the Mississippi and runs north for about six or seven miles and intersects I80 northwest of Davenport. I80 is pretty much a straight shot across the state of Iowa. You veer southwest once, then northwest once and cross the Missouri at Coucil Bluffs/Omaha, and then continue west into Nebraska. Not much to see besides farms along the way. |

Brownells is directly off of I-80. May be worth a stop if you've got some time to kill.
