Bridge Repair near New Holland
[March 11, 2026]
Beginning on, or about, March
12th, repairs will be made to a bridge between New Holland and San
Jose. The bridge carries 100th Avenue Prairie Creek and is located
about 3 miles north of IL Route 10. The road will be closed to
traffic for several days while repairs are made.
The existing bridge is 90 feet long and was built in 1961. The
bridge was constructed with a concrete deck on timber pilings which
was a common practice at the time. One of those timber pilings has
rotted and is in poor condition. The bridge currently has a weight
limit of 32 Ton. Repairs will be made so that the existing bridge
can continue to safely carry traffic.
Cooperation and patience are 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 News & Closures page of the County Highway Department
website.
