Шаблон:Infobox Bridge 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 local roads and railroads. It carries Interstate 39 (I-39), a major north-south Interstate through central Illinois, and its U.S. Route counterpart, U.S. Route 51 (US 51).

Description

The bridge crosses the river between LaSalle and Oglesby, at river mile 225.8.[1] The structure comprises a main span over the river, flanked by 43 approach spans. It is named after Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States. The main span is a through-arch design, Шаблон:Convert long. The clearance of this span over the river, from low steel of the bridge to normal water level in the pool below, is Шаблон:Convert.[1] With the approach spans, the total length of the structure is Шаблон:Convert. Its length makes it the longest bridge in Illinois.[2]

History
