Description
I made this shot standing on the north side of LaSalle Street / Marshall Suloway Bridge, on a rainy summer morning. Looking south towards the LaSalle street canyon, the Chicago Board of Trade can be seen at the very end of the street. I gotta say I was pretty tired after 5 days of photographing the City of Chicago, but decided to get up and leave my hotel room to capture more sights. I love how the ominous clouds loom over the city.
-------------------------------------------------
The La Salle Street Bridge (or Marshall Suloway Bridge) is a single-deck double-leaf trunnion bascule bridge spanning the main stem of the Chicago River in Chicago, Illinois, that connects the Near North Side with the Loop area. It was constructed in 1928 at a cost of $2,500,000 by the Strobel Steel Constructing Company.
The bridge was part of a scheme to widen LaSalle Street and improve access from the Loop to the north side of the river that had been proposed as early as 1902.[4] The design of the bridge, along with those for new bridges at Madison, Franklin, and Clark streets, was approved in 1916.
