Located in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago, this bridge crosses West 64th Street at S. Lowe Avenue.
Built in 1904 as the Chicago & Western Indiana and parallel Wabash railroads raised their tracks through the area, the bridge consists of a through plate girder bridge, set onto concrete and steel substructures. It appears that the two piers were added as helper bents.
While the bridge was originally built for seven tracks, only two tracks remain in use.
In addition, the bridge consists of a ballasted deck.
This type of bridge is typical for early grade separations in Chicago.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in fair condition, with some deterioration.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
