Circle Avenue Bridge to get new murals this spring The public will be invited to participate May 18 By IGOR STUDENKOV Staff Reporter
Forest Park Arts Alliance is planning to invite the public to paint brand-new murals on the Circle Avenue bridge over the Eisenhower Expressway. The original murals were painted May 13, 2017, and the Arts Alliance traces its origins to the planning effort for that project. Since then, the murals have seen some wear, and the rust they originally covered up started seeping through the paint. The organization was hoping to repaint the mural in 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic waylaid those plans. While the details of the newly minted Bridging the Divide project are still being ironed out, the plan is to offer up sections of the bridge to public entities, such as Park District of Forest Park and community organizations, such as the Kiwanis Club of Forest Park. While the sponsors would have a broad flexibility on what they can paint, nudity and “offensive language” won’t be allowed. The village agreed to serve as a project co-sponsor back in December, but it still needs to get an okay from the Illinois Department of Transportation, which controls the expressway See BRIDGE on page 7
