The Valley City Eagle Bridges is a set of bridges that carry Interstate 72 and U.S. Route 36 across the Illinois River. The bridge is located near Valley City, Illinois, the smallest municipality in the state.[3]
Description
The bridges are post tensioned cast-in-place concrete box girder bridges. Each bridge has two lanes of travel on a 39-foot deck. The bridge has roughly 7,500 travelers per day.
History
The bridges were completed in 1988. The highway was not completed until 1992, when Highway 36 was rerouted onto I-72 and the older Florence Bridge began carrying Illinois Routes 100 and 106.
