THE ILLINOIS D.O.T. NEEDS TO TRY AND SELL OR GIVE-AWAY THE

THE OLD BRIDGE IS ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES AND  IT CAN NOT BE DEMOLISHED BEFORE THE ILLINOIS D.O.T. OFFERS IT FOR
SALE AND THE NEW OWNER THEN HAS TO MOVE IT TO A NEW LOCATION THAT WILL HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY THE ILLINOIS D.O.T.
