Revive 755:
There's a billboard for the Houbolt Road Toll Bridge on the right side of southbound I-55 a little south of IL 126. IIRC the billboard said 'coming early 2023'.

Another such billboard has been sitting on the south side of I-80 near Richards Street (exit 133). The bridge really is on track to open sometime in the spring. If you walk to the end of the trail at the Rock Run Rookery, you can see the bridge off in the distance over the river.

Would have been nice if this could have waited until the Tri-State is done north of I-55. Bad enough there's supposed to be more bridge work on I-355 again this year.

Proud to say I actually played a part in the design work on this project. Not a huge amount, but more than I could've really ever said before!
Unfortunately, I do think this is going to cause a mess for people driving on the north side. Will be interesting to see how bad backups spill up north and west.
