long = The Abraham Lincoln Memorial Bridge in Illinois is a four-lane bidirectional road bridge that spans the Illinois River, Illinois Route 351, Illinois and Michigan Canal, and numerous local roads, lakes, and railroads. It carries Interstate 39, a major north-south Interstate through central Illinois, and its U.S. Route counterpart, U.S. Route 51.

The bridge connects the cities of La Salle and Oglesby, and (like the Mississippi River) maintains an elevation of about 60 feet (18 m) above the Illinois River Valley for its 2 mile (3 km) length. The main span is 619 ft (189 m) long, with approaches in excess of a mile and a half (2½ km). It is the longest arch bridge in Illinois.cite web |author=Baughn, James et al. |url=http://bridges.midwestplaces.com/il/la-salle/illinois-39/ |title=Historic Bridges of the Midwest |date=2005 |accessdate=2006-01-18]

History

The bridge was built in 1987 when Interstate 39 was first extended south to what is now Illinois Route 251. The highway itself has since been extended all the way to Bloomington.
