Another park and grab. If you walk over to the middle of the bridge on this back road you can look out to the north and see the interstate I-39, and a partial glimpse of the Illinois River valley.
The Abraham Lincoln Memorial Bridge in Illinois is a four-lane bidirectional road bridge that spans the Illinois River, Illinois Route 351, Illinois and Michigan Canal, and numerous local roads, lakes, and railroads. It carries Interstate 39, a major north-south Interstate through central Illinois, and its U.S. Route counterpart, U.S. Route 51.
The bridge connects the cities of LaSalle and Oglesby, and (like the Mississippi River) maintains an elevation of about 60 feet (18 m) above the Illinois River Valley for its 2 mile (3 km) length. The main span is 619 ft (189 m) long, with approaches in excess of a mile and a half (2½ km). It is the longest arch bridge in Illinois.
