Lincoln Highway Toll Bridge – Fulton, IL - Murals on Waymarking.com

The Lincoln Highway Toll Bridge mural is on the south side of the Fulton Community Center and Chamber of Commerce. A note on the bottom right hand corner tells a little about the history of the bridge. There is no signature or date on the painting.

“Fulton, known as the “Gateway to the West,” is the western terminus of the Illinois portion of the Lincoln Highway. For a toll, motorists could continue on the route across the mighty Mississippi river on the Fulton-Lyons Bridge. The high bridge provided a quick crossing rather than the once burdensome ferry boat trip. Traffic was often stopped as tourists got out of their vehicles to capture the perfect photo atop the lofty bridge with its spectacular view of the scenic river and bordering states.”
