 Curvy New Chicago River Bridge Will Be Longer Than Three Football Fields
Construction on the 1,000-foot curving new bridge over the Chicago River on the city's North Side began this month. The bridge, called
Riverview Bridge, is part of a larger project called 312RiverRun, that extends a jogging, biking and walking path for nearly 2-miles between Addison Street and Irving Park Avenue and links parks and other recreational facilities.
Work will be divided into two phases and is planned to be complete by late 2019 with work taking place over the winter as weather permits. The funding for the $25.7 million project is from federal, state and local sources. The bridge and path are a big step toward creating a continuous system of trails along the river.
