Cedar Street Bridge

The bridge will be closed for 2 weeks, starting Dec. 1st for repairs. The weight restriction is expected to be lifted shortly after the repairs are completed.

As of Feb. 1, the Cedar Street Bridge now has a 15 ton weight limit. IDOT says there are repairs needed, but has set no scedule for it yet. Never a good sign.
