From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lincoln Park Passerelle is a through arch pedestrian bridge in Chicago. It spans Lake Shore Drive, and allows pedestrians to cross between Lincoln Park and the North Avenue Beach.[1] The bridge was designed by Ralph H. Burke and was completed in 1940.[1][2] It is a contributing property to the Lincoln Park Historic District.[1][2][3][4] It was featured in the Museum of Modern Art's exhibit "Built in USA: 1932-44", and the museum designated it one of the country's 47 best structures.[3][5][4] Preservation Chicago listed the bridge as one of Chicago's seven most endangered landmarks in 2007, as it is threatened with demolition.[6][7]
