==Roads== In Grayville, [[Illinois Route 130]] meets [[Illinois Route 1]], and Route 1 meets [[Interstate 64]]. Grayville was built on the [[Wabash River]]. While it is no longer on any major rail line, it was home to a large rail bridge across the Wabash into [[Indiana]], but sections of that bridge collapsed in January 2005 due to a major flood<ref>[http://www.crh.noaa.gov/pah/hydro/rainfall/jan05flood.php NWS Paducah, KY<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> of the Wabash River. In late 2005, an [[ethanol]] plant was proposed for the Grayville area, and the construction of the plant would have included rebuilding the bridge and rail lines leading to it on both the Indiana and Illinois sides of the river, but as of July 2009, neither the plant nor the bridge have been built.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cityofgrayville.com/news.htm |title=NEWSROOM {{!}} City of Grayville Illiniois |website=www.cityofgrayville.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060613054856/http://cityofgrayville.com/news.htm |archive-date=2006-06-13}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sailillinois.com/ethanol.html |title=$400 Million Power Plant Construction |access-date=2009-07-12 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080828202944/http://www.sailillinois.com/ethanol.html |archive-date=2008-08-28 }}</ref> The largest bridge to [[Indiana]] south of [[Lawrenceville, Illinois|Lawrenceville]], and the only [[Interstate Highway System|Interstate]] link between Illinois and Indiana south of [[Terre Haute]], the I-64 river crossing runs parallel to the collapsed rail bridge, about 1000 feet upstream.
