The McClugage Bridge carries U.S. Route 150 over Upper Peoria Lake and Peoria Lake in the Illinois River in the US state of Illinois. Originally opened in 1948, the crossing has had two physical structures since 1982, one carrying westbound traffic and one carrying eastbound traffic.
The bridge's official name honors David H. McClugage, mayor of Peoria from 1937 to 1941.
