Bridge rehabilitation

The Illinois Department of Transportation was awarded a $1.355 million Formula Grant by the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration on March 23, 2021. The grant funding will support bridge rehabilitation work under the Highway Planning and Construction federal grant program (CFDA 20.205). Specifically, the grant funds will be used to rehabilitate a bridge carrying FAS 434 over the La Moine River approximately one mile east of St. Mary, Illinois. Work will include replacing the bridge deck and parapet, bearing assemblies, and diaphragms. The bridge's structural steel will also be cleaned, painted and the approach roadway reconstructed. The Formula Grant funding will allow the Illinois Department of Transportation to preserve and improve critical transportation infrastructure by rehabilitating the deteriorated bridge.
