Bataan-Corregidor Memorial Bridge, Road bridge in The Loop District of Chicago, United States
The Bataan-Corregidor Memorial Bridge spans across the Chicago River, connecting State Street between the north and south banks in downtown Chicago.
The bridge construction started in 1939 but experienced delays due to World War II material shortages, finally reaching completion in 1949.
Two commemorative plaques mounted on towers at each end of the bridge honor Chicago area soldiers who served in Bataan and Corregidor.
The bridge features a bascule span mechanism that opens to accommodate river traffic while serving both vehicular and pedestrian transportation needs.
Located at the intersection of North State Street and East Wacker Drive, the bridge stands near multiple war memorials including the Viet Nam Memorial.
