Notes
  • Significance: This bridge, incorporating a tied arch main span, was the first modern bridge in Illinois of this type of support the floor with hangers, without the use of diagnosis. It was built near the earliest alignment of U.S. Route 66 to relieve traffic congestion near Gardner. This early route through the area was an improvement of the original Chicago-Springfield Road.
