The Illinois Department of Transportation announced the completion of the new Illinois 89 bridge over the Illinois River at a ceremony to dedicate the structure as the “Illinois Valley Veterans Memorial Bridge.” While the new bridge opened to traffic June 18th, additional work, including removal of the old bridge and realignment of the approaches to the new structure, was completed in recent weeks. The two-lane bridge connecting Putnam and Bureau counties provides safer, more efficient travel for motorists throughout the region. Miscellaneous improvements will continue through the fall.
