Abstract

At the present time there are two bridges crossing the Mississippi River at Clinton, Iowa (shown on the map opposite), each built in the early 1890s . One is the Clinton and Illinois Bridge, the present south bridge, which is to be purchased by the City of Clinton Bridge Commission for an agreed price of $275,000. The Commission plans to tear down t his bridge and to erect a new modern two-lane bridge to be open for traffic July 1, 1956. The other bridge at Clinton is the Lyons-Fulton Bridge, the north bridge, which is shown on the map opposite. The Illinois Division of Highways' construction program includes a new highway cutoff east of Clinton which will relocate the major transcontinental highway US 30 (see map opposite) and provide a modern direct approach route to the proposed new south bridge. Both Illinois and Iowa plan to change the marked routing of highway US 30 from the Lyons-Fulton Bridge to the new south bridge at the time the new bridge is opened Our estimates of the revenue available for debt service for the new south bridge for the period from July 1, 1956 through 1979 are given in the table below. These figures are taken from the table facing page 17 of this report and are qualified by the statements and conditions in this report.
