N. Michigan Avenue
Du Sable Bridge
On October 15, 2010, the Michigan Avenue bridge was renamed the DuSable Bridge in honor of Chicago's first permanent resident - Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable. DuSable, the son of a French pirate and a Haitian slave, established Chicago's first trading post in 1779. His trading post was located near where the NE bridgehouse is today.
This bridge is considered by many to be the most spectacular of the 18 bridges. It has 4 ornate bridge tender houses. Each double-deck leaf is supported by 4 deck trusses. It is two bridges built side-by-side to allow one side to be open without blocking North Michigan Avenue off completely.
The bas relief sculptures on the south bridge tender houses commemorate the Fort Dearborn Massacre of 1812 (Fort Dearborn was located at the south end of today's bridge) and the rebuilding of the city after the Great Fire of 1871. The bas relief sculptures on the north side bridge tender houses commemorate French explorers Marquette and Joliet; and early settlers Kinzie and DuSable.
In 2006, the SW bridge tender house became home to the McCormick Bridgehouse Museum. Displays of the history of the Chicago River, as well as the ability to see the operating machinery of the bridge, and to access to all levels of the bridge tender house make this museum a must see for both the bridge enthusiast and the river enthusiast.

DuSable Bridge is all at once a beautiful work of public art and a great feat of civil engineering, it’s the beauty of 100 years of man made project.
Chicago’s bridges are distinctive features of Chicago's infrastructure.
Thank you for watching

We always called it the Chicago bridge Before the brigade was built the Irish living on one side, the germans living on the other would insult each other on the edge of the river. My great great grandfather came to Chicago in 1850 from Pennsylvania and fought in the union army. When the Chicago fire happened the ran to lake Michigan to save themselves. My family still lives there and my grandmother was born on Wentworth Avenue in 1912 and she loved Chicago . My grandfather being born in Chicago 1879 loved Chicago too .

Bonjour, j'ai toujours été stupéfaits et fier des Américains car il font du beau et du bon travail et pour celà je tiens personnellement à salué les ingénieurs Américains qui ont travaillé dur, aimé son pays c'est de lui laisser quelque chose d'éternel comme ce pont merveilleux. Merci à vous.

"It's got a cop motor, a four hundred and forty cubic inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters, so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say? Is it the new Bluesmobile or what?"
