EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL. — St. Clair County has started construction on the $8.1 million River Bridge District project. The project is focused on transforming a key section of the East St. Louis Riverfront to draw industry and jobs. This is the final piece of highway infrastructure improvements already made by state and federal partners, including the relocation of Illinois Route 3. A comprehensive overhaul of Front Street from Trendley Avenue in East St. Louis to where the road ends in Fairmont City is planned, as well as improvements to connecting roadways.
