PEORIA, Ill. – The first of six scheduled demolition explosion events on the McClugage Bridge will take place on Thursday.
Beginning around 10 a.m. and continuing for up to an hour, the McClugage Bridge will be completely closed to traffic, and surrounding roads will be shut down as explosives are used to sever steel girders on the east side of the old eastbound span of the bridge.
Traffic on Rt. 150 on both sides of the bridge will be rerouted at the interchange ramps, but traffic will continue moving, as stopped traffic will not be permitted.
Traffic on the Peoria side of the McClugage Bridge on Rt. 29/Adams Street will stay open.
IDOT (Illinois Department of Transportation) has five more explosion events scheduled over the next three months, though the dates of the upcoming blasts have not been released.
