Excerpt from Wikipedia

The Bataan-Corregidor Memorial Bridge, also known as the State Street Bridge, is a bridge that carries State Street across the Chicago River in downtown Chicago, Illinois, United States.

History

The current bridge was started in 1939, but material shortages in World War II caused a delay in completion until 1949.
