McClugage Bridge, Road bridge in Peoria, United States.
The McClugage Bridge spans the Illinois River, connecting the cities of Peoria and East Peoria with two separate structures for each traffic direction.
Originally constructed in 1948 after World War II delays, the bridge received an additional span in 1982 to accommodate increased traffic demands.
The structure bears the name of David H. McClugage, who served as mayor of Peoria from 1937 to 1941 and influenced regional transportation development.
The new eastbound span under construction will include three lanes, wide shoulders, and dedicated paths for bicycles and pedestrians upon completion in 2024.
The bridge project includes plans for memorial parks on both riverbanks that will incorporate steel beams from the original structure after its demolition.
