Public meeting scheduled for Rt 89 Bridge replacement

The Route 89 Bridge over the Illinois River is still scheduled to be replaced. You can see the latest plans for a new bridge during an Illinois Department of Transportation public informational meeting in Spring Valley.

IDOT wants to build a replacement bridge east of the existing bridge so you’ll be able to cross the river during construction. They also want to raise the roadway approaches to reduce flooding and extend sidewalks to Barto Landing.

Learn more about their plans and leave comments during the informational meeting Wednesday, April 9 from 4-7pm at Spring Valley City Hall in the community room.
