John T. McNaughton Bridge, Road bridge in Pekin, United States
The John T. McNaughton Bridge is a steel structure crossing the Illinois River and connecting Pekin with surrounding areas. It features four traffic lanes designed to handle local transportation needs efficiently.
The bridge was completed in 1982, replacing an older steel structure with a movable span. This replacement significantly improved traffic capacity and reliability for the region.
The bridge carries the name of John T. McNaughton, a Harvard Law School professor who served as United States Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs.
The bridge provides ample clearance for water traffic, allowing river vessels to pass underneath safely. You can easily access views of the structure from nearby roads and pedestrian areas in town.
The structure features a longest span of 550 feet and stands as a primary connection point between Hollis Township and Pekin, facilitating regional economic development.
