Old Stone Arch, Stone arch bridge in Marshall, Illinois, United States.
The Old Stone Arch Bridge spans 15 feet in width and reaches 13.5 feet in height, constructed entirely from limestone blocks without mortar joints.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built this bridge between 1828 and 1837 as part of the National Road reconstruction project across multiple states.
This structure represents early American engineering methods, featuring a central keystone design that demonstrates 19th-century construction techniques.
Visitors can locate the bridge beneath modern Route 40, with a historical marker near the guardrail indicating the turn-off for viewing.
The Old Stone Arch Bridge maintains its position as the oldest remaining bridge structure in Illinois, continuing to support traffic since its completion.
