The Illinois Department of Transportation has advanced the restoration of Princeton’s Red Covered Bridge to the design phase, moving the 163-year-old structure closer to reopening after a semitruck damaged it in November 2023, according to IDOT.
The bridge has been closed since the collision damaged the structure’s façade and roof. IDOT has allocated approximately $1 million for repairs and upgrades as part of its multi-year program.
IDOT’s District 3 completed Phase I preliminary engineering in 2025, which defined the scope of work and preliminary cost estimates. The State Historic Preservation Office approved the repair plans in April, confirming they will not adversely affect the bridge’s historic character, IDOT said.
Phase II involves preparing detailed construction plans and specifications. A second review is expected this summer, with Phase II anticipated to be completed by the end of 2026, according to IDOT.
Repairs include complete replacement of the roof and roof cross bracing, replacement of damaged roof cross bracing rods, floor beams and siding, replacement of all existing lighting and wiring, upgraded fire suppression piping and security cameras, and fire-resistant coating on the interior, exterior painting and pump house repairs.
Once Phase II is complete, the project will move to construction. IDOT will put the work out for bid to select a contractor. Construction is tentatively expected to take several months.
Built in 1863 to cross Big Bureau Creek, the Red Covered Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is the only state-owned covered bridge still open to traffic. Before the 2023 strike, it accommodated an average of 275 vehicles a day.
According to IDOT, the bridge has survived arson, erosion, high winds and multiple truck strikes. It serves as a landmark for the Princeton and Bureau County communities, drawing tourists and serving as a backdrop for weddings and proms.

Officials said ICE was unable to provide reasons why they were detained.
Princeton police said they do not participate in federal immigration enforcement.

The Princeton Area Chamber of Commerce recently marked the expansion of two businesses into the community with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Primary Market, founded by Kathryn Ewers in Ottawa, began as a home-based business during the COVID-19 pandemic specializing in personalized and engraved gifts.
“Primary Market has always been about creating something meaningful for others,” Ewers said in a news release. “Expanding into Princeton is an exciting step for us, and we’re looking forward to collaborating with other local businesses.”
ReelCreative, an Illinois Valley-based media agency, also announced its expansion. The company produces video and photography content for brands and organizations.
“Princeton is a community that values both tradition and forward momentum,” reelCreative co-founder Matthew Klein said. “We’re excited to be here and to work alongside local businesses that are looking to grow and reach new audiences.”
Chamber officials said the expansion brings better access to creative services and custom products for local businesses, organizations and residents.
“This is exactly the kind of growth we love to see in Princeton,” executive director of the Princeton Area Chamber of Commerce Jenica Cole said. “When businesses choose to invest in our community, it creates new opportunities, supports local connections, and adds to the overall energy of our downtown and surrounding area.”

Princeton senior Ryan Jagers was caught. stealing trying to steal second base n Monday’s reqional quarterfinal at Prather Field. Kewanee won 10-5. (Photo provided by Mike Vaughn)
Michael Jackson played on the PA between innings during Monday’s Class 2A regional baseball quarterfinal between host Princeton and Kewanee at Prather Field.
It was not a Thriller by any means for the Tigers in a game of what could go wrong did.
The Boilermakers got three extra outs with the help of two Tiger errors and a dropped third strike in the second inning, hitting the ball out of the infield just once and scoring four runs to take a 6-1 lead.
Kewanee (4-27) tacked on four more runs in the sixth, helped by a wild pitch and a passed ball, on the way to a 10-5 win to advance to Wednesday’s semifinals against top-seed Alleman (20-15).
“We didn’t seem to get any good bounces go our way. Good teams got to overcome that and we just didn’t today,” Princeton coach Patrick Smith said. “We didn’t make plays when we needed. They made more plays than we did.”
Princeton had 31 stolen bases in a 11-1, 14-5 sweep over Kewanee in back-to-back nights this season, but managed just one steal in two attempts Monday.
Kewanee had an ace up its sleeve this time in pitcher Logan Peed, who has been sidelined on the mound of most of the season. While he did allow nine hits and five runs (only one earned), fanning seven, he kept the early lead his teammates gave him.
“It’s really nice to have Logan Peed back on the bump. Just filling up the zone with a couple pitches being able to mix speeds and locate,” Kewanee coach John Moraski said. “Couple times we played them earlier in the season we struggled to throw strikes. Lot of walks, free bases, and they’ll kill ya.
“Logan gave us six really quality innings and then Reid Nichols had a nice little coming out party in the seventh inning and did a nice job in a high-pressure situation as a sophomore and handled it really well.”
Smith said Peed made a big difference.
“He’s a good pitcher and I saw he was throwing a little bit, so I fully expected he’d be pitching,” he said. “He just pounds the zone. We tell our guys all the time, you don’t give away free bases. You throw strikes and we play defense behind him, you’ve got a great chance to win and that’s exactly what he did.
“I thought we hit the ball well. We just didn’t string enough together.”

The Tigers (8-21) got two runs back in the bottom of the third after Kewanee scored four in the second. Braden Shaw, who led off the first inning with a triple and scored, hit a leadoff double to left. Stihl Brokaw blooped a single in front of center fielder Ace LaFollette with Shaw holding at second.
Noah Morton advanced both runners with a sacrifice, called out for running outside the base line. Shaw came in when Cayden Benavidez’s fly was dropped in center and Ryan Jagers singled home Brokaw to make it 6-3.
Tiger starter Jagers pitched three scoreless innings before the Boilers struck again, scoring four runs on four hits, including an RBI single by Isaiah Ince and RBI double by Peed, in the sixth.
The Tigers used a two-run error by Kewanee in the sixth to close within 10-5.
Princeton loaded the bases after two hits in the seventh when Abe Longeville reached on an error and Hayden Sayler singled following a leadoff hit by Benavidez. Shaw, who had hits in his first three at-bats, hit into a fielder’s choice on a 3-0 count, forcing Benavidez at third to end the game.
Smith enjoyed his first year at the helm having served as assistant under former head coach Wick Warren.
“I appreciate all the kids we had. It’s a great group. And they competed,” he said. “You saw it today. We were down five runs. They easily could have rolled over and gave away at-bats. They didn’t give away anything. They competed to the very last out and that’s really all we can ask of them. Just compete and do what we can and the scoreboard’s going to take care of itself.”
Shaw finished 3 for 5 out of the leadoff slot for the Tigers (8-21), with Brokaw and Benavidez each going 2 for 4.
Ince, Peed, LaFollette and Dane Vandevelde each had two hits for the Boilermakers.
The Boilermakers turn their attention to the highly favored Pioneers in Wednesday’s semifinals. Alleman beat Kewanee 17-13 in a high-scoring affair last week.
“We’re playing our best ball at the right time, which is always the goal. Looking forward to Wednesday against a good team,” Kewanee coach John Moraski said.
The winner of their game will draw Thursday’s semifinal winner between Hall and Monmouth-Roseville in Saturday’s regional final at 11 a.m.

The annual More on 34 Miles and Miles of Garage Sales event will take place this weekend. (Photo provided by Kathy Bauer)
More than 60 garage sales will line Route 34 across three counties during Father’s Day weekend, with the majority opening Friday and Saturday, June 19 and 20.
The annual “More on 34 Miles and Miles of Garage Sales” event stretches from La Salle County through Bureau County and into Henry County. Some sales begin Thursday, June 18, but most open Friday and Saturday.
The Bureau County Tourism Committee has compiled a list of participating sales, available at the Prouty Building at the Bureau County Fairgrounds, local gas stations throughout the villages, and on the Bureau County Tourism and More on 34-Bureau County Facebook pages.
Princeton alone has more than 30 sales listed, with additional sales in Galva and Altoona. Route 34 will be marked with directional signs pointing to additional unlisted sales.
The Bureau County Fairgrounds will host approximately 50 vendors both inside and outside the building, opening at 8 a.m. both days. Rossy’s BBQ will operate a food truck Friday, and a concession stand inside the building will offer cold drinks, breakfast, and lunch items.
Most garage sales begin at 8 a.m. or earlier and continue throughout the day. The Tourism Committee reminds shoppers to park carefully to avoid blocking street access or driveways, and to bring small bills for making change.
Sellers are asked to use lettering at least 2 to 3 inches tall in bold on garage sale signs, avoid fastening signs to state property, and remove signs when their sales end.
Next year’s event is scheduled for June 18 and 19, 2027.

A juvenile is dead following a hostage situation Sunday.
Bureau County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call about a domestic disturbance in the 2700 block of East Street in a rural area of Bureau County around 2:42 a.m. − with officers from the Princeton Police Department, Depue Police and Ladd Police also responding. Illinois State Police troopers assisted with providing perimeter security.
Responding officers were advised that an armed suspect was holding several people hostage, including juveniles. It was believed the suspect was armed with a knife, according to ​Bureau County Sheriff James Reed.
“Multiple efforts were made by the responding officers to get the armed individual to exit the room or allow the release of the other individuals,” the Bureau County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release.
De-escalation attempts failed, the press release said, and officers on scene heard screaming. This and information from the 911 call led officers to believe the family was “in imminent danger.”
Officers entered the residence, fired shots and struck the suspect and one juvenile.
ISP officers entered the residence after shots were fired to assist with providing medical aid. The suspect and juvenile were transported to a local hospital, where the juvenile was pronounced deceased.
The suspect, who is being treated for his injuries, has been charged with aggravated assault, aggravated unlawful restraint and domestic battery, according to the Bureau County Sheriff’s Office. Additional charges are possible moving forward.
ISP is investigating the officer-involved shooting.
“This is an active investigation and no further information is available at this time,” ISP said in a press release.
Once the investigation is complete, it will be turned over to the Bureau County State’s Attorney’s Office for review.
