Wikipedia has a page about Beardstown Bridge

The Beardstown Bridge is a two-lane bridge that carries U.S. Route 67 (US 67) and Illinois Route 100 (IL 100) across the Illinois River between Schuyler County, Illinois and the city of Beardstown, Cass County, Illinois. The bridge was built in 1955 and rehabilitated in 1985. It is the northernmost and furthest upstream of the three Illinois River crossings used by IL 100, with the other two being at Florence and Hardin.

The bridge is appraised as structurally deficient, with a sufficiency rating of 40.2 out of 100 during its 2000 and 2010 inspections. The IDOT estimates that it would cost $173 million to construct a replacement bridge and approach roads. A new bridge is part of the plans for a U.S. 67 Corridor project.
