Everything about The Wells Street Bridge totally explained
The
Wells Street Bridge over the
Chicago River was built in
1922. Standing east of the
Franklin Street Bridge and southeast of the
Merchandise Mart, the
bascule bridge connects the
Near North Side with "
The Loop." The bridge is double decked, the lower deck carrying 3 lanes of traffic south over the river with sidewalks on both sides of the street. The upper deck serves as a bridge for the
Chicago Transit Authority's
Brown and
Purple lines. Control houses for controlling the bridge are on the northwest and southeast corners of the bridge.
The bridge was constructed during the first term of
William Hale Thompson. The
Chicago Plan Commission and
Chicago Art Commission provided design input to architect E.H. Bennett.
