1914: (Bridge Hunter; Historic Bridges)
1977: (Bridge Hunter; 3D Satellite)Comment on BridgeHunter-1977: "this historic crossing was originally a chain ferry est by George Dolton about 1838, replaced by a toll bridge in 1842,wood replaced in the 1850's (bridge timbers went to build a wooden sidewalk in Roseland on Michigan Ave north of 111th) replaced prob around 1900 with a pivoting bridge to let the barges by replaced about 1960 with another bridge as part of the Army Corps of engineers widening of the Cal Sag channel where'd you get the 1915 and 1977 dates from?"
Since HistoricBridges agrees with the 1977 date, I went with the Bridge Hunter dates.
