Located in Evanston, this through girder bridge carries the CTA Purple Line over Ridge Avenue and Lincoln Street.
Built during 1930-1931, this bridge features a three span through plate girder bridge, set onto steel and concrete substructures. The bridge runs at a heavy skew.
This type of structure is typical for large bridge structures, particularly over an intersection. The abutments can be expanded to four tracks.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition. Little serious deterioration was noted on the bridge.
The author has ranked the bridge as being minimally significant, due to the common design.
