John and Lenore Weiss are at it again.
The two Illinois Route 66 preservationists are restoring the original appearance of the Division Street Bridge in Pontiac, which carried the original Illinois Highway 4 and the first alignment of Route 66 in the state during the 1920s, according to the Pontiac Daily Leader.
Their work on the bridge is a good illustration of “repair, don’t replace” and trying to retain a historic site’s original appearance.
