Notes
  • Significance: This single-span bridge over Brown Creek, a multi-beam concrete deck structure with interior rolled beams, fascia plate girders, lattice handrails and steel fabricated end-posts, is noteworthy among the twelve earliest structures of this type on the Illinois Inventory, as preserving original features without modification. It was built in the period when timber availability had declined and as improved steel and concrete opened a new era of bridge building for short spans. The builder may have been W.H. Shons.
  • Survey number: HAER IL-129
