There are a number of dams along the Des Plaines River which is most likely the river you cross getting to the track. I don't recall any of those dams having roads atop them, though. If you think of it, check Google Maps or something and let me know where you're crossing.

Most of the dams were built for flood control in the 1920's/30's, I think, but I'm no dam expert. They are in the (tediously slow) process of removing them in an effort to restore a more natural flow to the Des Plaines.
