Notes
  • Significance: The DesPlaines bridge is one of four vertical lift bridges built over the Illinois Waterway; however, its designers, borrowing from a lift bridge constructed in DeValls Bluff, Arkansas, incorporated the lift machinery into the two towers instead of placing it directly on the lift span.
  • Survey number: HAER IL-60
  • Building/structure dates: 1932 Initial Construction
