Welcome
Welcome to the Illinois 100/106, Florence Bridge, River Crossing Project website. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) maintains a lift bridge at Florence, Illinois which is located on Illinois Routes 100 and 106 at the Scott/Pike County Line. This bridge was built in 1929 and is now considered functionally obsolete and structurally deficient.
- "Structurally deficient" means that bridge elements need to be monitored. Being structurally deficient does not imply that a bridge is structurally unsafe. It means the bridge must be inspected, and maintained and repaired as needed.
- "Functionally obsolete" means that its width, carrying capacity, vertical clearance, or alignment no longer meets the demands of today's modern vehicles.
The focus of this three-year study is to determine how to improve the existing Illinois 100/106 Bridge Crossing over the Illinois River while minimizing impacts to the environment and the surrounding area.
