Drivers of farm equipment and wide loads (12 feet or wider) are asked to contact the Quincy Police Department at 217-228-4470 to schedule a crossing in advance.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">The bridge&rsquo;s replacement is included in IDOT&rsquo;s latest multi-year program as a joint project with the Missouri Department of Transportation, with construction tentatively scheduled to begin in 2029.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">For more information on IDOT projects, click here.
