About the St. Charles Air Line Bridge
The St. Charles Air Line Bridge is a historic Strauss Trunnion bascule bridge located at 1500 South Lumber Street in Chicago, Illinois. Originally built in 1919 as part of the St. Charles Air Line Railroad, this bridge spans the Chicago River and was constructed by the American Bridge Company. At the time of its completion, it held the world record for the longest bascule-type span. Designed by Leonard O. Hopkins, the bridge was later shortened to 220 feet in 1930 during a relocation project to straighten the river channel. This iconic structure is an important piece of Chicago's architectural history and a must-see for visitors interested in engineering marvels.

Reviews of St. Charles Air Line Bridge
"chill bando to smoke at or climb, just hop up on the abandoned walkway to it that starts next to canal and ur good"
"Second historical bridge on Chicago river. Take a boat ride trip."
"Hard to get close to take a picture as it’s private property : ("
"The “16th Street Bridge” is an iconic CHICAGO BRIDGE used in The Batman movie shot in Chicago where Batman’s lair is set beneath it (Dark Knight). My (two) favorite Chicago bridge(s) are the one near PingTom Park-Pennsylvania RR Bridge # 458- and The Deering (1916) bridge near Fullerton /Ashland Ave."
"I agree with many of the comments regarding this bridge. The old, non functioning bridge along with other non functioning bridges like the one by the Merchandise Mart, are very old and built to outlast anything that is made today. Knowing that the foundations and structures are very robust, these bridges with their perfect locations to enjoy city views should be turned into living quarters be it condos, private residences or even businesses. There is no real reason to tear down a solid structure just to erect another. This will allow for the appreciation of the old and marry it to 21st century know how."
