Collection ChicagoArchitecture
Description For better than 75 years, the bridges of Chicago were operated by a regular crew of bridge tenders, men (almost always) who were responsible for opening the spans to allow passage of sailboats, cargo barges, and other shipping traffic. The position was greatly minimized with the advent of automation, and now there are crews that work to open/close them in a kind of leapfrog fashion.
