Dearborn Street Bridge, Road bridge in Chicago, US
The Dearborn Street Bridge spans across the Chicago River, connecting the Near North Side with the Loop district through its steel construction.
The first bridge at this location was constructed in 1834 when Chicago had only 350 inhabitants, serving as the primary crossing point for the town.
The bridge received recognition from the American Institute of Steel Construction in 1963 for excellence in movable span design and engineering.
The bridge functions as both a vehicular and pedestrian crossing point, with a bascule mechanism that lifts to allow water vessels to pass underneath.
Located at the coordinates 41.8875°N and 87.6295°W, this bridge stands as part of Chicago's extensive network of movable river crossings.
