Additional Details:
The Busy Chicago River: Communication between the three divisions of the city of Chicago is had by the numerous bridges which span the river at nearly every street. Fully a half hundred of these bridges exist. As a rule they are swung by electricity on central pivots and can be moved very rapidly. A notable exception is the Taylor street bridge which lifts in sections affording a clear water way and avoiding the central pier
