The LaSalle Rail Bridge is a rail bridge that carries the former Illinois Central Railroad across the Illinois River in the small community of LaSalle, Illinois. The first bridge on this site was constructed in 1855, but the superstructure was entirely reconstructed in 1893, and two deck truss spans were replaced with the current vertical-lift span in 1932.
