McClugage Bridge
These bridges are much like the old Hudson, Wisconsin bridges across the St. Croix River. Very long. Does anybody have a view of the entire stucture?

Oh and about that controversy about changing the name: don't ever change it! Thank you!

Hello. My name is Gretchen Ragle. My great-grandma is Frances McClugage. Her uncle was the mayor of Peoria who had this bridge built. Our family was very active in Peoria's community during that time. This is all I know please don't ask me about anything else. Thank you!
