A rendering of the bridge connecting the Compass business park to two Will County intermodal centers. U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush calls it the bridge to the future. To many Will County officials and residents, it s a bridge too far. But the opinion that really matters now belongs to Gov. J.B. Pritzker. The fate of a massive industrial park planned in Joliet that could employ as many as 10,000 people rests largely in the hands of the governor, who has the final say over a proposed bridge spanning Route 53 that s essential to the development. It may be just a bridge, but it represents the hopes of pro-growth government officials and the fears of local residents fed up with heavy truck traffic originating from a pair of gigantic rail yards nearby. And the outcome of the standoff could be a turning point for a region that s become one of the nation s largest logistics hubs and, as a consequence, a key pillar of Illinois economy.
