ELGIN (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - Work starts today on the replacement of a bridge in Elgin that many are going to find inconvenient.
The 40-year-old Coombs Road Bridge that spans railroad tracks is being re-built over the next four months, six years after it was closed for several months for emergency repairs after the 160-foot structure was found by county engineers to be unsafe.
The detour will be fairly a long one for some and fire protection had to be re-configured, which is expected to result in slightly longer response times.
The $2.3 million project is expected to be completed in early November.
