Bridge project near New Holland to
begin March 25
[March 24, 2026]
Beginning Wednesday March 25th,
construction will begin on a bridge between New Holland and San
Jose. The bridge is located on 2200th Street and carries County
Highway 24 over Prairie Creek. It is located about 3 miles north of
New Holland and 5 miles south of San Jose. The road will be closed
to traffic during construction, which will last until mid-May.
The existing bridge is 100 feet long and was built in 1987. The
bridge was constructed with concrete deck beams. Those beams have
developed structural cracks and need to be replaced.
The bridge deck will be completely removed. Minor repairs will be
made to the concrete piers. Riprap will be placed to control further
erosion. New concrete deck beams and new bridge rail will be
installed.
The project was awarded to County Contractors, Inc. located in
Quincy, Illinois. The low bid on the project was $474,619.50. The
cost will be paid with a combination of federal bridge funds and
local property tax funds.
Status of our local construction projects can be found on the News &
Closures page of the County Highway Department website.
