1975,2002 I-474 Shade-Lohman Bridge over Illinois River south of Peoria, IL

(Archived Bridge HunterBridge Hunter, no Historic Bridges; John A. Weeks IIISatellite

The bridge is at Bartonville, IL but I used "Peoria" in the title so that it would be included in a search for Peoria bridges across the Illinois River.

"Prior to the upgrade of I-74 through downtown Peoria in 2004 to 2007, trucks were requested to stay off of I-74 and use the I-474 bypass instead. The I-474 bridge was rehabilitated in a project that completed in 2002. The floor deck systems on both bridges experienced cracking problems and had to be replaced. In addition, many of the rivets used on the bridge had to be replaced."
The westbound bridge was 4' (1.2m) longer than the 3,421' (1043m) eastbound bridge. Both had a main span of an estimated 543' (166m). The navigation channel is 500' (152m) wide with a clearance of 65' (20m).
The namesakes were politicians.
