This standard through girder bridge crosses US-30 near the town of Fulton.
Built in 1957, the bridge features a single through girder span. This span features a heavy skew and sits on concrete abutments.
The bridge was funded by a Federal Aid Project through the State of Illinois.
Overall, the bridge remains in good condition. The underside of the bridge has some damage from oversized vehicles.
The author has ranked the bridge as being minimally significant, due to the common design and newer age.
