Illinois and Missouri Cut Ribbon on New I-270 Mississippi River Bridges in $531.6 Million Project
The Illinois and Missouri departments of transportation were joined by local leaders and industry partners on Nov. 9 in Madison County to cut the ribbon on the new Interstate 270 Chain of Rocks twin bridges crossing the Mississippi River.
The bridges are the centerpiece of a combined $531.6 million investment to improve safety and mobility while creating jobs and economic opportunity along a critical freight and travel corridor in the Metro East. The new westbound span opens on Nov. 16.
The project is the latest achievement of Governor JB Pritzker's Rebuild Illinois capital program, which is delivering billions of dollars in major projects across the state this fall.
