In the state of [[Iowa]], I-74 runs south from [[Interstate 80|I-80]] for {{convert|5.36|mi|km}} before crossing into [[Illinois]] on the [[I-74 Bridge]]. North of the [[Mississippi River]], I-74 bisects [[Bettendorf, Iowa|Bettendorf]] and [[Davenport, Iowa|Davenport]].

===Illinois===

[[File:Murray Baker Bridge from Caterpillar Lot, Peoria, Illinois.jpg|thumb|right|[[Murray Baker Bridge]] over the [[Illinois River]] in Peoria, Illinois]]
In the state of Illinois, I-74 runs south from [[Moline, Illinois|Moline]] to [[Galesburg, Illinois|Galesburg]]; from this point, it runs southeast through [[Peoria, Illinois|Peoria]] to the [[Bloomington–Normal]] area and [[Interstate 55|I-55]]. I-74 continues southeasterly to the [[Champaign–Urbana metropolitan area]], intersecting [[Interstate 57|I-57]]. The Interstate then runs east past [[Danville, Illinois|Danville]] at the Illinois–[[Indiana]] state line. [[U.S. Route 150]] (US&nbsp;150) parallels I-74 in Illinois for its entire length, save the last few miles on the eastern end (in Danville, when US&nbsp;150 turns south on [[Illinois Route 1]] (IL&nbsp;1)), where it parallels [[U.S. Route 136|US&nbsp;136]].

===Indiana===
{{Main|Interstate 74 in Indiana}}
In the state of Indiana, I-74 runs east from the Illinois state line to the [[Crawfordsville, Indiana|Crawfordsville]] area before turning southeasterly. It then runs around the city center of [[Indianapolis, Indiana|Indianapolis]] along [[Interstate 69|I-69
]] and [[Interstate 465|I-465]]. Once I-74 reaches the southeast side of Indianapolis, it diverges from I-69 and I-465 and continues to the southeast. It then enters [[Ohio]] at [[Harrison, Ohio|Harrison]].

===Ohio===
{{Main|Interstate 74 in Ohio}}
In the state of Ohio, I-74 runs southeast from the Indiana border to the western segment's current eastern terminus at [[Interstate 75|I-75]] just north of [[Downtown Cincinnati]]. It is also signed with [[U.S. Route 52|US&nbsp;52]] for its entire length. While planned to continue through [[West Virginia]] and [[Virginia]] to the I-74 section in North Carolina, the route remains unsigned or [[List of gaps in Interstate Highways|unbuilt]] past [[Cincinnati]]. At this point, I-74 would follow US&nbsp;52 or more likely follow [[Ohio State Route 32|State Route&nbsp;32]] (SR&nbsp;32), east from Cincinnati.

===North Carolina===
{{Main|Interstate 74 in North Carolina}}
In the state of [[North Carolina]], {{As of|2025|alt=as of January 2025}}, I-74 exists in several segments, starting with a concurrency with [[Interstate 77|I-77]] at the Virginia border. This includes the most western portion from I-77 to US&nbsp;52 just south of [[Mount Airy, North Carolina|Mount Airy]], a segment first opened to traffic as a bypass of [[High Point, North Carolina|High Point]] then extended west to [[Interstate 40|I-40]] east of [[Winston-Salem, North Carolina|Winston-Salem]] and east to [[Interstate 73|I-73]] near [[Randleman, North Carolina|Randleman]], then another along the southern segment of I–73 and [[U.S. Route 220|US&nbsp;220]] from just north of [[Asheboro, North Carolina|Asheboro]] to northwest of [[Rockingham, North Carolina|Rockingham]], and finally a more eastern segment that runs from [[Laurinburg, North Carolina|Laurinburg]] to an end at [[North Carolina Highway 41|NC&nbsp;41]] near [[Lumberton, North Carolina|Lumberton]].{{citation needed|date=February 2020}} The latest segment to be signed, from I-40 to High Point, occurred after the federal government approved signing this section as I-74 in mid-2013, despite the highway not being up to current [[Interstate Highway standards]]. It was uncertain why the [[Federal Highway Administration]] (FHWA) made an exception, but this might have been the result of a misinterpretation when a state highway administrator asked for Interstate designation for another section and "Future Interstate" for the section already completed that did not meet standards.<ref>{{cite news|title=Mistaken Identity|last=Young|first=Wesley|work=[[Winston-Salem Journal]]|date=August 29, 2014}}</ref>
