The last of the former Wood River Power Plant along the Berm Highway is coming down this weekend. The walkway and conveyor over the highway will be removed on Saturday, and the smokestacks will be imploded at 8am on Sunday. The highway will be closed in both directions from 9am Saturday until to 9am Sunday.
The closure will run from Enviro Way on the East end to Locks and Dam Way on the West end. East Alton Fire Chief Tim Quigley tells The Big Z if you want to watch, the closest you can get is an area located on Chessen Lane of East Broadway in Alton.
