The Logan County Highway Department will be replacing a bridge on 600th Avenue near Burton View. The bridge is located about four miles west of Lincoln and ˝ miles north of IL Route 10.

The project is scheduled to begin on May 14th and is expected to last until July. During construction, the road will be closed to traffic.

The existing bridge was built in 1963. The bridge deck and the sub-structure have significant deterioration and need to be replaced.

The project was awarded to Otto Baum Company, located in Morton, Illinois. The low bid on the project was $196,535. Funding will come from Logan County’s allotment of federal transportation bridge funds along with local property tax funds.

Cooperation and patience is always appreciated during the construction season as we continue to improve the safety of our roads and bridges. Status of our local construction projects can be found on the New & Closures page of the County Highway Department website. https://logancountyil.gov/highway
