Michigan Avenue Bridge Chicago Michigan Avenue One of the sights of the great city of Chicago is called Michigan Street, which is a great place for sightseeing and adventure with its large streets and buildings. All famous brands are present on Michigan Street, and of course expensive. On one side of Michigan Street, there is a river that can surprise you. There are tall and unique buildings on this street.

The Michigan Avenue Bridge (renamed the DuSable Bridge) is a historic bridge in downtown Chicago that crosses the Chicago River and connects Chicago's "Loop" to the city's Magnificent Mile and neighborhoods beyond. It is a bascule bridge, and each end can be lifted to let river traffic through when needed. It is also believed to be the first ever double decker bridge. Faster noncommercial traffic would use the upper deck and slower commercial traffic would use the lower. For a visitor to the city, it creates an amazingly beautiful site as it sits near the historic Wrigley Building and Tribune Tower, two iconic skyscrapers in the city and right on the river. The scene is particularly stunning at night when the buildings are illuminated.

I always like to visit Michigan Avenue Bridge (Du Sable Bridge). It is an iconic site and designated Chicago Landmark (1991), it is listed in the National Register of Historic Places since 1978, it is always busy with traffic and pedestrians, the views from the bridge are fantastic, giving a clear understanding of the importance of the bridge both historically and in present times. In my perception, Michigan Avenue Bridge (DuSable Bridge) is a great symbol of Chicago as a modern, vibrant, open-minded city with diverse demographics, and for the last two and a half years it is also a symbol of strength and support of people, fighting for freedom in other countries of the world.
