US 67
US 67 bridge over the
Illinois River at Beardstown will be
constructed as part of the US 67 two lane to 4
lane expansion. CSS was utilized for the new US
67 Bridge Type Study as well as for aesthetic
enhancements at the US 67/IL 125 interchange
which will serve as a gateway to Beardstown.
This will be constructed as part of the US 67
two lane to four lane expansion.
The public and local officials
were offered input into some aesthetic design
elements of the proposed structure, which will
enhance their planned waterfront development.
Additionally, the City is now behind the project
with support for the new bridge as well as
beautification landscaping at the interchange,
which will serve as the primary gateway to the
City. In selecting bridge type, economics was
the primary concern for IDOT and aesthetics was
a primary concern for stakeholders. Fortunately,
while working together, the lowest cost option
turned out to be the preferred bridge type
satisfying both IDOT and the stakeholders.
