Apple River Road Bridge
Posted November 5, 2021, by Troy Knox (troyjknox [at] hotmail [dot] com)

This bridge is closed but still standing. I went to it last month.

From https://www.jodaviess.org/index.asp?Type=B_BASIC&SEC=%7BC1AD...

Effective November 28, 2018, a bridge connecting S. Apple River Rd to E. Welch Rd. in Woodbine Township, will be permanently closed to traffic. If you have any questions, please call County Highway at 815-591-2337.
