This is the route my dad takes from his doctor and he hates this viaduct/overpass. He says he feels the bumps all the way over it.

May not for motor vehicles,but I've noticed on KTVI-2 that there is plans for the Arch expansion that the MacArthur will be used as a pedestrian/bike bridge. It looks gorgeous in the plans I saw. Has the name painted in white on one of the beams. It was something else.

Skillet Fork Bridge Reopens

IUKA-After months of being closed,the Route 161 Extension Bridge over the Skillet Fork in Iuka reopened to traffic on Friday, after work had been completed.

The bridge had been closed to traffic after farm equiptment damaged part of the upper infrastructure of the bridge in late May.

Earlier estimates placed the repair costs at $225,000,with Marion County,Illinois having to pay for the repairs up front and then restitution being sought from the insurance company that covered the owner of the farm equiptment that caused the damage.

I took the survey,then thought I saved it,I saved the wrong part,then had to re-do it did it all over again then sent it. I e-mailed it to Mr. Smith just now. A fun survey. I said what I thought too.
