By April 1960, the old Dearborn Street Bridge had been demolished and new construction ready to begin. This view, looking northeast from Wacker Drive, shows the detour marked for vehicles and pedestrians. The sign on the construction bridge reads: "Another Bridge Improvement, Dearborn St. Bascule Bridge, City of Chicago, Richard J. Daley, Mayor."
