The iconic (and often-crashed-into) covered bridge in downtown Long Grove has a new name — the Robert Parker Coffin Bridge. A recent village resolution officially renamed the bridge for Coffin, who designed the cover of the bridge in 1972.
Long Grove Village President Bill Jacob cuts the ribbon to official dedicate the bridge. Images from the Long Grove Dedication Ceremony on Sept. 22, 2022 in downtown Long Grove.
“If you think of Robert Parker Coffin, and you think of our values, the open space, preserving large lot sizes, conservation … he is the one who really fought for that,” said Bill Jacob, the current village president. Turner, 100, who died in 2020, has the Reed-Turner Woodland Preserve as a namesake. The Long Grove Park District land is a state certified nature preserve.
Since the reopening, the bridge has been struck by vehicles 40 times, according to Deputy Chief Christopher Covelli of the Lake County sheriff’s office. The village has notified map services and will keep trying but, “I’m not sure it will have an impact,” Jackson said.
