Comments
Road names are funny (strange). Must have renamed them since my Delorme map came out. My current Garmin doesn't show this road. Delorme calls it Riverview Drive from one end to the other. Actual signs at the south end of the bridge calls the east/west section 412N. Cross the bridge, then the railroad tracks to the north and a sign calls the road Bluff Road, which signs support all the way to the north end.
Bridge is located just north of Hwy 100
I should mention that there is a very interesting rail bridge over the Illinois River just east of this bridge, but it appears to be hard to access, unless in a boat.
GPS at south end is N39 27.445 W090 37.172
