Kankakee River Range Line Road Bridge
I love this bridge! I drive across it all the time! This area is a very peaceful place for me. I love to fish here, grill at the pavilion or just sit at the side of the bridge listening to the water and birds. I really hope they don't take this bridge down. Its beautiful the way it is!
Kankakee River Range Line Road Bridge
Nice old bridge and appears very solid. Notice the original guard rails, I don't think there was a 6" section that wasn't bent. This bridge sees a lot of traffic and from the looks of the railings not a lot of good drivers.
