Yes, it's also known as 159th Street and IL-7, but after the bridge it becomes Renwick. I know, very confusing. If you look, IL-7 turns and goes south down IL-53 at the end of the bridge.
We call it the 9th Street bridge or "the bridge to Romeoville" LOL.
There is another bridge about a mile south that has been out of order for years. I think it is either Division or Caton Farm Rd that used to extend east of Rte 53 and over the River. The road is deserted, and no traffic. You can't get on the bridge anymore, because it is one of the old bridges that spun open and they have it permanently spun open for barge traffic.
Anyway, the area is desolate and probably easy to dump from the side. I have no idea of the shore, if it drops off, or is a gradual decline, but much of that area of the river has been dredged deep for barge traffic.
Regarding would the body float, there were stories earlier about missing scuba weights from DP's house.
