Located in the village of Lake Forest, this through girder bridge is the eastern of two bridges at the intersection of Deerpath Road and US-41 (Skokie Highway).
Built in 1936 as a grade separation for a major transportation corridor, this bridge features a single rigid frame span, with the appearance of a concrete arch. Unlike the parallel bridge which features an through girder span covered by a concrete fascia.
In addition, the bridge consists of a ballasted deck and concrete substructures.
This type of design is common for grade separations in the 1930s. Many were constructed as part of major New Deal Era projects, especially along new highways.
Little changes have been made to this bridge since construction. Overall, the bridge appears to be in fair to poor condition, with deterioration throughout the entie structure.
The author has ranked this bridge as being minimally significant, due to the common design and newer age.
