BACKGROUND:
The 87th Street Bridge sits on the county boundary line between DuPage County and Will County.

A feasibility study was completed in 2018 that recommended that the existing bridge be replaced. Preliminary engineering began in 2020, and the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) issued design approval in 2023. Design engineering will be complete in 2026.
