Kankakee River Range Line Road Bridge

Posted May 20, 2007, by Tom Hall (thomas [dot] hall [at] ffni [dot] com)

Nice old bridge and appears very solid. Notice the original guard rails, I don't think there was a 6" section that wasn't bent. This bridge sees a lot of traffic and from the looks of the railings not a lot of good drivers.
