Chicago Bridge - Aerial - The master design plan for the Chicago Bridge defines a new pedestrian crossing that connects Grant Park to Lake Michigan spanning across Lake Shore Drive. The Bridge is seen as an open pavilion with seating, descriptive panels and interactive kiosks for visitors to Chicago to learn and appreciate the history of the city. It is constructed of an open steel framework and sheathed in photo-voltaic panels in a manner that is consistent with the traditions of modern architecture rooted in Chicago.
