I'm surprised there are no comments about these fine bridges in Joliet. The bridges and the river give Joliet Illinois real character. It was a fascinating place to grow up as a child. The best thing ever?....getting stopped by one of the bridges when a pusher went by. "Mom?....get closer so I can see!" Even better?....getting stopped by both a bridge AND a train in the same car trip. Another great aspect was in winter time especially around Christmas. Ridng through downtown Joliet all decorated for Christmas and steam coming off of the river. The stacks of the pusher boats passing by downtown behind the levee wall of the river. The old buildings with their 100 years worth of character. You can't beat it. Very warm place to live.
This was most recently rehabilitated between July and November of 2012. I don't know whether/how many steel beams were replaced, so there may be some previous historic mill marks missing from the original 1930s bridge.
