Halsted Street Bridge Closure Sparks Local Debate and Repair Plans
The Halsted street bridge over the Calumet River remains closed after months of neglect and weakened structure. City Chicago engineers propose removing the superstructure and replacing with steel cross beams to reopen using a large scow, costing about 10000 dollars split between the village and higher governments. The piece argues the burden belongs to county state and city, not the village, and urges action to repair the main thoroughfare while noting the traffic impact and responsibilities of Chicago, Calumet Township, and Riverdale.
