Bridging the gap

SPRING VALLEY — The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) conducted a second public information meeting Tuesday on the replacement of the Route 89 bridge, and the news was generally good.

“Based on input we’ve received, we’ve developed two alternatives,” said IDOT location and environmental studies engineer Ted Fultz. “An east alternative, east of the existing bridge, and a west alternative.”

Either alternative would leave the current bridge open to traffic until the new bridge is built.
