July 28, 2011: "Man of Steel" Filming Closes La Salle County Bridge

Fox River Bridge MyWebTimes.com reports that filming for the "Man of Steel" movie will close a bridge in La Salle County (near Serena, Illinois) for the next three days.

    A scene from the upcoming "Superman: Man of Steel" movie, some of which is being shot in Plano, will be filmed on the U.S. 52 bridge over the Fox River east of Serena.

    Illinois Department of Transportation media spokesman Josh Kauffman said the Warner Brothers production company was given permission and permits to close the bridge and adjacent highway sections for filming a rumored traffic accident scene on the span. Kauffman said the route will be reopened by Saturday.

You'll recall back in March that we reported that the Plano Chamber of Commerce President Rich Healy was approached by Warner Bros. about a piece of Rotary Club-owned property down by the Fox River that was required for a bus-crashes-in-river scene. Apparently, from the look of the bus in the photo (shown above right), filming over the next three days will be for that scene.
