With work continuing on the demolition of the McClugage Bridge in Peoria, video on Friday showed the partial implosion of the eastbound structure, which will later be replaced by a new bridge.
The original eastbound section of the bridge, which opened in 1948 and spans the Illinois River, is being demolished in eight stages in a process that began in March and runs through next month.

According to officials, the bridge is slated to be replaced by a “new structure that meets the region’s transportation needs.”
The new bridge will include bicycle and pedestrian accommodations while increasing capacity by adding a third lane and shoulders, officials said.
Friday’s blast marked the fifth of eight implosions, with the dates of the remaining three demolitions yet to be determined.
