The Cross

Soaring above the landscape at the convergence of Interstates 57 & 70, just south of Effingham the Cross at the Crossroads creates an imposing sight. The cross took several months to construct. The 180.0 tons of steel were lifted into place by a crane. Construction was funded through a million dollars in private donations. A Visitors Center is located at the base of the Cross.
