A view to the southwest of the Darrow Bridge / Columbia Bridge on August 29, 2023. Built in 1880 and rebuilt after the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, the Darrow Bridge was declared unsafe by the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) in 2009 and blocked to pedestrians and bicycles in the late fall of 2013.
