The majority of the Skyway, seven miles, is above grade. Its span over the Calument River is about half a mile, rather desolate surroundings make it seem much higher than it really is. Awesome place to see the skyline.

Damen Ave bridge is a very striking graphic simple arch. Used to get photographed a lot when it was red. Chicago itself as 39 moveable bridges, the width of the LSD spans is pretty impressive and there are hundreds of fixed structures throughout the City to faciliate rail and expressway crossings --
