The Illinois Department of Transportation will hold a public meeting to discuss the study to replace the bridge that carries Illinois 16/100 over the Illinois River (Joe Page Bridge). The meeting will be held Tuesday, Sept. 10, 5-8 p.m. at Calhoun High School 102 Calhoun Ave., Hardin.
IDOT, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration, has initiated the Preliminary Engineering and Environmental Study of the Joe Page Bridge, which carries Illinois 16/100 over the Illinois River to connect Calhoun and Greene counties. The Phase I study will look at options for the rehabilitation or replacement of the existing bridge. The purpose of the meeting is to obtain public input on the corridors proposed for further study.
Handouts and display boards of the corridors proposed to be carried forward will be available for public review, as well as information regarding engineering, land acquisition and environmental issues. Representatives from IDOT and the project consultant, Hanson Professional Services Inc., will be available to discuss the project and answer questions. The meeting will be held in an open house format. No formal presentation will be made.
The public is invited to submit comments for consideration in the project design. A comment form will be provided at the meeting and via the project website at www.joepagebridge.com. The public can mail comments directly to 1102 Eastport Plaza Drive, Collinsville, Ill., 62234. Comments may also be submitted via email to [email protected] on or before Sept. 24.
