The 286' (87m) long bridge has two 139' (42m) spans.
"Built 1932; rehabilitated 1997"

This road went to the original swing bridge across the Illinois River into Peru. It now goes to a boat launch on the south side of the Illinois River. BridgeHunter calls it the Sportsmans Club Road.

It’s a bit rustier now. This was 15 years ago.

The gates seem to be a recent addition. This street view is from Aug 2025. https://maps.app.goo.gl/rr3ZWzaemTExRykn8
