This is a photo I took during my August 2006 Chicago trip. You can see the new darker paint and the fact the bridge is still closed on one side.

Original guardrails for the bridge still remained on the approaches, but not on the bridge itself. These are the approach guardrails, and their arch over lattice design has long been my favorite railing style. The design is quite rare.

This is obviously not an original plaque, but I was pleased to see they modeled it after the original.
This last section of photos is from my August 2006 visit when the bridge was being rennovated.
