Embarras River Bridge
Embarras River Bridge, Historic road bridge in Jasper County, Illinois, United States.
The Embarras River Bridge extends 148 feet across the water, connecting Wade Township Road 164 between Newton and Wade Township in Illinois.
The Chicago Bridge & Iron Company constructed this Pratt through truss bridge in 1890 to replace an outdated wooden structure at this crossing point.
The National Register of Historic Places recognized this bridge on May 20, 1998, marking its engineering and architectural contributions to Illinois transportation history.
Following renovations completed in 2015, the structure now functions as part of Eagle Trails, offering pedestrian and bicycle access across the Embarras River.
This bridge stands as the sole Pratt through truss bridge in Jasper County and remains among the earliest truss bridges still existing in Illinois.
