Wouldn't this be the coolest? Proposed in the original Burnham plan of 1909, the bridge will act as a breakwater at Monroe Harbor as well as provide additional park area.
"To give a modern and sustainable twist to the original idea, wind turbines will also be incorporated in the project to add economic value and show Chicago’s dedication to sustainability. An observation tower will be placed at the center of the bridge, providing spectacular views of the lake and city. The bridge also provides a chance to showcase the ecology of the Great Lakes and provide a safe environment for fish and water plants."
