Lake Front Gains 100 Acres Through Reclamation Project
The lake front reclamation along seven miles in Chicago will add about 1,200 acres of parks and boulevard drive at an estimated cost of 100 million dollars. Dredging and filling use 50,000,000 cubic yards of lake bottom and city refuse, with 10,000 cubic yards per day. Concrete bridges will link lagoons and streets, and a future subway would cover the Chicago Central tracks. Completion could take 10 to 12 years under current pace, funded by bonds and contracted work.
