Plaque is gone now. That's a shame.
Good for you Mr Travis. I visited this bridge earlier this year...in October...but got there as it was getting dark. I'm glad you got some good recent pictures for us. When I was there, this bridge was heavily traveled. Two SUVs got nose to nose on the one lane bridge. It is surrounded by fabulous luxury homes. The area has changed a lot since I grew up there in the '60s and '70s.
I Got some good pictures of the 135th street bridge in Lemont though. As you know, it is preserved next to the canal it once crossed.
Here's one picture I took when it was getting dark....more and better to follow from friend in the area soon I hope.
Just visited this bridge on Oct 20th 2007. It is indeed a one lane bridge. It was near sunset when I got there but it looked like it was in decent condition...possibly like it had recently been primer coated. This is a very heavily traveled road. It seems this area has become very popular with the expanding housing market of the greater Chicago area. The bridge is surrounded by VERY large and expensive homes. Like I said, it is very heavily traveled at times. I saw two cars go head to head on the one lane bridge. I hope that if they replace it with a larger bridge, that they preserve this one. A friend in the area will take pictures for us later.
