Frank E. Bauer Bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Frank E. Bauer Bridge is 0.19 mile (0.31 km) toll bridge that traverses the Rock River in Machesney Park, Illinois.[1] It is one of four toll bridges in the state of Illinois. The bridge consists of four lanes, a median and shoulders, as well as a sidewalk which is not tolled. It connects Illinois Route 2 north of Rockford, Illinois with commercial areas of Machesney Park and Illinois Route 251 via the Bauer Parkway and Harlem Road.
As of 2006, the toll for all vehicles was 50 cents per vehicle, payable only in coins or tokens as I-Pass -- the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority's electronic toll collection system -- is not accepted. The Bauer Bridge is tolled to pay for bonds issued for its construction, scheduled to be repaid by 2013.[2]
