Wabash Avenue Bridge

Wabash Avenue Bridge

The Wabash Avenue Bridge, also known as the Irv Kupcinet Bridge, is a historic double-leaf bascule bridge located in Chicago, Illinois. Built in 1930, it connects the Near North Side with The Loop area, spanning the Chicago River. Designed by Thomas Pihlfeldt and recognized as the Most Beautiful bridge in 1930 by the American Institute of Steel Construction, it stands as a remarkable architectural landmark. With a total length of 345 feet and a width of 90 feet, the Wabash Avenue Bridge features two control houses on its northwest and southwest corners. While the northern control house is no longer in use, it remains as a testament to the bridge's history. Upgraded in 1961 for single man operation and electrical modernization, this iconic bridge continues to serve as a vital transportation link for automobiles and pedestrians in the bustling city of Chicago.Generated from the website
