Located in the Forest Glen neighborhood of Chicago, this through girder bridge crosses North Elston Avenue near Forest Glen Avenue.
Built in 1926, the bridge features four through girder spans, set onto concrete and steel substructures. The bridge follows a common early 20th century design for girder bridge grade separations.
As one of the last ordered track elevations in Chicago, many of the bridges in this area feature concrete spans. However, this one features steel spans due to the large skew.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in fair condition, with minimal significant deterioration.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design and large numbers of similar bridges in the area.
