Route 66 followed Illinois 4 at this point as this marker indicates. According to the small cast metal plaque at the top of the post the Route 4 Bridge (also known as North Creek Bridge) was built in 1926 . This bridge only has the original bridge end posts, one with the original Illinois Route 4 marker. The marker was restored in 2007. The bridge is located where Division Street goes over North Creek, just north of Jefferson St.
