PROPHETSTOWN, Ill. — The increasing deterioration of the Star Road Bridge which crosses Coon Creek at the east edge of Prophetstown has caused a 15-ton load limit to be placed on the bridge, the Whiteside County Highway and Public Works Department said in a news release Friday.

The load limit on the bridge is effective immediately.

Advanced load limit warning signs are being installed to warn drivers of the limit. There will be no marked detours for heavy traffic at this time.

Plans are being designed for a bridge replacement project in 2009.
