The weekend before Thanksgiving . Awesome experience, beautiful lights, the lake and surreal experience.
The best view of Downtown and the river Walk. Surrounded by a bunch a shops and eatery’s.
One of favorite place to walk and sit.Gentle breeze in summer. Good for health.Riverside walk is so pleasant.Good for kids.
A large bridge overlooking the Chicago River. It has great views of Trump Tower, The Wrigley Building, Tribune Tower, The Chicago Riverwalk, and more! I’d say this is one of the more scenic bridges to cross, although the others are still pretty good.
Iconic! Timeless! Historically monuments to those resilient, determined immigrants who built the city of Chicago!
Really beautiful bridge with proximity to Apple Store and other key buildings. Color of water is unique
This is a great bridge going across the river we stayed at the river hotel we have to take the spread to get to cross the river. It is out of the water it’s really old and cool. Make sure if you’re in the Chicago downtown area to check out this awesomely incredible bridge. Especially at night.
I spent so much time at this busy street and I never saw it dirty, it was always clean, with many different stores and restaurants along the way.It’s also very nice because it has a bridge and this bridge it’s so beautiful.
Some of my favorite views from the many bridges Chicago has!
River walk is awesome. Do take the architectural tour to get a good idea of the history of the Chicago city as well.
Nice view of tall and historical buildings. Pleasant climate. People can spend hours watching the ferries in the river.
It’s a nice bridge, maybe not 5 star fabulous, but we’ll above average.
Book your architecture tour :)
Always great to see the Cloud and the Millennial Park. They have a fence around it, so you cant get to close to it, but still worth it, as it is free to visit.
For the best views of the city skyline and the river, you must checkout this place. St. Patricks day is the best time to visit as the river actually turns green on that day.
One of the best spots at Mag Mile to view the Skyline. Also, It is surprising how too few people know that there an Whole Museum inside one of the 4 Bridghouses of this iconic Bridge. (Southwest Bridgehouse - the one near LondonHouse) .The BridgeHouse Museum is a definite must-visit for its immersive description of the history of Chicago river and the bridge . Also the view from the top of the BridgeHouse is amazing.
Great view of Chicago city. Amazing skyscraper, trump tower, beautiful hotels with a cruise ride
Great place for pictures and watching the boats cruise the Chicago River while heading to the Magnificent Mile for shopping.
Probably the bes spot over the river to take a nice pictures of the inner skyline of Chicago. The problem is that always is very crowd with tourists . Its surrounded by amazing architecure
It has great views. Took some great pics.
Cool bridge, not much to it but a bridge. Cool views of the trump building though. They did have ferry tours but we did not take one
Beautiful views. We went to the downstairs portions to get a photo of where the untouchables was filmed. Such a great movie. The way down was interesting. Being from out of state, the Chicago underground seemed like a world new world. I called it the Chicago underworld. A little bit of courage to walk down. Kinda trashy as well.
Its a bridge it gets you across the river... The stone work on the bridge posts is amazing and it is a lost talent in todays high speed hurry up and get things done world. The views from the bridge were spectacular.
This may be the most visited places in Chicago city. Beautiful cityscapes and city lights in night time, see pics I uploaded of city. Visited second time and will visit again. From this bridge you can best view of cityscapes and river and its riverfront walk.
This is a bridge located in the heart of downtown. It has a history ofcourse but for us it means:-Getting an ice cream from Ghirardelli and devour it with the view of the city.-Gazing at the Chicago skyline at night-Watching the boats, kayak groups, water taxis, yachts and waving at them.-Assisting people who like to take a memorable photo 😊-Make a secret wish 😜
This is one of many bridges on the Chicago River. Can be viewed from the water front but even better when viewed on the river vi a cruise. The bridge is named in honor of Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, Chicagos first permanent resident.
Beautiful views!
Beautiful views from this bridge. First time to Chicago....what a neat city. No one ever compared it to others but felt like a cross between NYC Manhatten and San Antonio, TX.
I liked to see the reliefs carved into the structures. Great photo shots taken with my camera phone, Samsung Galaxy Note 9.
Great view of Chicago buildings.
We watched the Lights Parade from behind the Trump tower and it was amazing. The fireworks had a hard time with the string winds but it was so worth it.
Great photo opportunities on the bridge. Its a great way to walk of some Garretts Popcorn.
Great view plus alittle free museum if you can find it.
Just wow, very busy place, loved it, , fireworks every Wednesday evening nearby in navy pier, walking along the river is so much fun
Michigan Avenue Bridge (officially DuSable Bridge) is a double-leaf, double-deck, fixed counterweight, trunnion bascule bridge that carries Michigan Avenue across the main stem of the Chicago River in downtown Chicago.At the time of construction it was believed to be the first double-deck bridge ever built to have roadway on both levels; faster non-commercial traffic using the upper deck and slower commercial traffic that served the various industries and docks in the vicinity of the river using the lower deck.(Sourced from Google)
The views are beautiful as it always.
Fun along the river walk and nice to people watch, rest and, if youre into it, get in your exercise- so many runners!
Many people gathering with family and friends all nationalities.
In this bridge we can see Trump Tower and walk around the river.
Great architecture. Worte a visit.
Absolutely beautiful. Iconic. Although touristy, a must visit place in Chicago
It was truly beautiful place in Chicago. The tower, and cruise ship, all goes well in the scenery. Everyone should visit !
Beautiful views for the river at Chicago👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful. Worth waiting for sunset for twilight shots
Great place for walking. Also you can take amazing pictures
Beautiful sunset and view with my friend who arrived in Chicago from overseas. Its a great spot to view the city of you are new here
Great view of the city and lake! Definitely be there for a burning sunset view
Great views from and around here, worth the visit.
So pretty! Beautiful day when I visited right in the heart of downtown.
Cool look behind the bridge millions cross every day.
We really loved this bridge it was so amazing to see, it had a beautiful view over the river and just standing there was very nice. When we were here it wasnt that busy so it was actually a very quite and nice spot! Want to go back as soon as it is possible!
The area is great for walking and enjoying the view of the skyscrapers touching the sky. I visited chicago on October the weather wasnt warm but it wasnt that cold either. I would recommend walking the full length of the river walk because the views will keep getting better
Beautiful during the day but spectacular at night
Its beautiful. Its worth 5 minutes. Look at the architecture view the blue water take in the hustle and bustle
Very beautiful old bridge on the side of the old fort Dearborn, brilliant spot for pictures over the river or looking up the Mile.
Best view in chicago,can get busy for that photo opportunity though
Nice place for touristic photos!
Nice bridge with beautiful display of the river and architecture.
A must go and iconic place to take photos of the Chicago river and skyline. Worth the visit.
Beautiful views both at day time and night timepeople moving freely at the sidewalk of this busy bridge..
We love it because its beautiful. Scenic, a great place to take pictures..
Tremendous view. Nothing more striking than the Presidential Common Man and the Presidential Palace.
Magazine view of the canal
Really nice view of the beautiful buildings and river.
Nice old Bridge. .it goes up and back down again. Everyone gets across the river. What more could you ask for? Good photo ops here.
Beautiful landscapes, buildings, and attractions.
Some of the best views of Chicago on foot.
Amazing to see with the security in front of the Trump Towers
Bridge to pass by to see a beautiful and classical chicago view.
Amazing architecture!! I can not awaiting for summer to walk there again
Absolutely beautiful views from the bridge. Perfect landscape for history and architecture.
Excellent architecture and a great place to take photos. Nice background scenery all around and always full of plenty of locals and tourists.
A great day to finally get out and enjoy the day.
This is an average bridge surrounded by amazing architecture. Its a bridge that you must cross to get to the Magnificent Mile and other famous Chicago landmarks. It shakes a lot when walking because theres lots of cars going over it. It has a nice walkway and its in a very safe area.
Beautiful view of the river.
Nice view towards lake Michigan. Good spot for pics
The heart of Chicago is the waterways a must see location in Chicago
Great view to observe the architecture of Chicago!
Went for rubber ducky charity. Had an awesome time and charity for special needs children is well worth the effort.
One more beautiful and historic point in the downtown, at Pioneer City house. Watching the skyscrapers touching the sky and sailing cruise boats below.... alongwith the crowd from all parts of the world is a memorable one.... on the memorial bridge of one of the city founders.Chicago touching all hearts.
Michigan Avenue has always been one of my favorite walks in Chicago. But something special happens when you cross this bridge - at least for me. You get to look east and west and see (and feel) the beauty and energy along the Chicago River. You also see the amazing architecture right there - Wrigley Building, Tribune Tower and Trump Tower a short distance away. You begin to realize why this is called the Magnificent Mile, because it is!! This bridge was a significant piece of the vision for Michigan Avenue.
Beautiful views from the bridge. On one side of the bridge you can access Chicago river architecture tour, other side you can do down for riverside walk. The art on the bridge would amaze you.
Excellent picture spot and shopping locations on both sides.
One of the loveliest and most busy places in the city! Excellent for shopping and enjoying the fascinating building architecture. Load and full with people, sleeps late and tourists all over the streets. grabbing french fries and some ketchup and walking around while enjoying the beautiful city center is recommended
Amazing panoramic view!
This bridge offers fantastic views both during the day and the night.
Beautiful night views from the DuSable Bridge
DuSable Bridge is fantastic if you find yourself standing on one side of the river, longing to be on the other side of the river. As far as quality, the bridge appears to be structurally sound, Ive never seen it collapse. Im not an engineer but I imagine this bridge could hold a dozen or even two dozen people without falling down into the river. Five stars.
Michigan Avenue Bridge. / This street is not named Lake Shore Drive.
St. Patricks Day the river was awesomely green! Great place to be!!
A beautiful bridge with a lot of history. Cars and pedestrians can cross on the upper and lower parts of the bridge.
Beautiful tourist attraction in the heart of Downtown Chicago. Awesome place for pictures and right down the stairs you can hop on a boat and tour the city through its water ways and perhaps get out to Lake Michigan.
Beautiful.
We enjoyed walking along the water. Chicago is such a beautiful place. The walk along the water was such a great experience, I can hardly wait to do it again. Great places to stop and have a drink or a bite to eat along the way too.
The correct name of the bridge is the Michigan Avenue bridge.
Saw this bridge and walked over it for the 2018 St. Patricks day dying of the river.
This is the best access to the Magnificent Mile
Beautiful view of the river from this bridge! Plenty of room for pedestrians and great spots to take pictures from. Also a great vantage point for the fireworks at Navy Pier. Easy stair access to Riverwalk at all corners.
It is an iconic bridge in Chicago, a MUST VISIT, the surroundings are very beautiful and impressive. There are many options and things to do nearby, for example: I recommend hoping on a boat beneath Trump Tower (right next to the bridge) for an architectural-historical tour on the river.
This is the iconic center of Chicago. Aot of history and events happen on and near this spot.
One of the most beautiful spots in downtown Chicago. There’s shopping, rivers, architecture, the lake, restaurants and even a light house all within a leisurely 10 min walk. Must stay here or visit here if you’re in Chicago.
Nice bridge. I’m confused by the carving of a white man defending off the savages though
Great location downtown. Right opposite house of blues. Rooms are large and comfy. Bathrooms are spacious and clean. The bathtubs are slippery, hence they provide a new slip mat- so make sure to use it! No problems with wifi. The gym was quite well equip whereas the concierge lounge could do with more variety of snacks and drinks..
Chicago is such a beautiful city! Love it!
Best river views!
The DuSable bridge worked great. We were able to walk across the river without getting wet. 5 stars for a great bridge experience. But seriously, if you look at the sidewalk on the south side of the bridge, you can see embedded markers that show the outline of where Fort Dearborn stood (apparently in the middle of Michigan and Wacker). There are also plaques to commemorate the Chicago fire, the journey to the Mississippi and other historical events so there is a bit of interesting history you can learn here as well as great scenery.
One of my favorite things to do in Chicago is walk the River Walk, explore Down Town and sightsee on foot. Beautiful historic Bridges and buildings all over the city.
DuSable bridge was cool. I happen to like all of the bridges in Chicago. Its a lot of fun to see them by crossing them/walking on them, but even better from on a boat tour. These bridges along the river, the main river, also raise and close. Thats also a lot of fun to see when tall sailboats pass through and the bridges rise and then descend.For any additional questions or for travel needs (Im not a travel agent. I help people get to their destinations and economically too!) please contact me at gurutravelcompanion @ gmail . com
Lovely view from the river walk.
I loved the rivers in Chicago, and we stayed just around corner from this bridge - lots to see from above the bridge, and you can walk down to the river walk below as well. Some great architecture on either side too.
Had to check out the green Chicago River on St. Patricks weekend!What can I say about the bridge? Well its sturdy, spacious, and most importantly picturesque. A must visit location to really experience downtown Chicago. A lot of friendly people who come to take pictures at this bridge is a common sight. Please try not to jump off of DuSable Bridge, or really any bridge for that matter because that would ruin the ambience and reputation of this beautiful old Chicagoan sight
Beautiful view of the city when crossing this bridge!
This is a great bridge. You can get from one end of the street to other without getting wet from the water below. Sturdy construction. Felt really safe while crossing it. Great views of the city, too.
I love going over the bridge and just watching the boats pass by.
I love walking around Chicago. I can’t say any bridge is better than the other as I am typically just looking for a way to get from one point to another. That said, I have and did take close up pictures of the rows of rivets with some flaking paint and water drops appearing along the girder. Sometimes you just have to stop and look at things from a different angle.
I go to Chicago 1x per yr for my Pokemon Go Fest convention in downtown and stay at the hotel The Fairmount. This bridge is very interesting to look at and is a huge feature of downtown traffic. There are pedestrian walkways downtown. Lots of road construction near it though. Free.
Nice location in heart of Chicago City nice view and a lot of skyscrapers lay on both sides of the river also a lot of shopping shops, restaurants, coffee shops, .. etc you find there
Great places to visit
This is a good bridge for crossing over a river or just standing on to watch the world go by. Its not tower or l ok London bridge, and much shorter than the golden gate, but a fine bridge that holds its own against all the other brides nearby.
Very nice to spend some time on a summary day. Situated in the banks of Chicago river. You can take water taxi from here to nearby destinations and also tourist water taxis/tours.
This bridge has a great view of Trump Tower and of the river boat out to Lake Michigan as well as to the inner city. The Wrigley building and great restaurants are close by well worth your time in the trip picture to go down below. Along the River and visit theyre also
One of the most beautiful architectures sites, night view is spectacular, located in the heart of downtown Chicago.
If the sign of a good bridge is crossing it many times without noticing or giving a crap, then this is a great bridge. This bridge kept me dry when my alternative was to the ford the frigid waters below (or go to another bridge a block away). Great job, bridge.
This is the nicest bridge in Chicago. It is beautiful and close to the shopping too. I think I never saw the bridge going up, maybe they are fixed, and thats weird cause here in Miami all of them opens when sail boats go out.
DuSable Bridge is a historic iron bridge that provides for entry to the famous Magnificent Mile. The namesake of the bridge is in remembrance of one of the founders of Chicago. I advise walking across as there are amazing views of many famous structures along the Chicago River.
Magnificent 360 views from bridge
Good place to see the river be dyed green.
Walking in Chicago is simply wonderful. Thats why we can see places like this.
THIS IS A VERY COOL SPOT TO WALK ACROSS AND YOU WILL GET SOME GOOD WIND GUSTS
The bridge is one of the most famous landmarks in Chicago. There’s lots of brilliant back drops for photos on the bridge. The trump building one way and Lake Michigan the opposite. Along with the Wrigley and tribune buildings. Its at the end of the magnificent mile too. Everytime we visit here we Really enjoy this area of Chicago. It is beutiful and noisy in summer and taking photographs will be hard as there will be lots of passerby.
The bridge was officially named the DuSable Bridge in 2010. It is considered the gateway to Chicago. The bridge is the symbol of the Magnificent Mile. The DuSable Bridge is all at once a beautiful work of public art and a great feat of civil engineering. Like most bridges over the Chicago River, the DuSable Bridge is movable, which allows boats to pass underneath. Its double deck allows two levels of vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
This is a bridge that I travel daily to get to work. Its an older bridge and needs some maintenance done. It enables people, who travel it, a great view of the Chicago river and the architectural buildings that are on either side of the bridge.
The bridge system in general in Chicago is amazing, but this one is extra interesting. The bridge house contains the McCormick Bridgehouse and River Museum. In there, you can check out the inner workings under the bridge and get a general history of the river. Entrance is $5 normally and is free on Sunday, I would absolutely stop by for a look.
Perfectly Picturesque Chicago point for tourist to capture the urban part of city. Good to a soothing walk on river top. Escape your vehicles and use for feet to walk on this bridge.
Nice views of the city from the bridge
The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the surroundings. He made the tour so enjoyable. And the other crew members were so quick to help wherever needed.
In this place you can take one tour for the Chicago architecture by the river
Great place to walk and shop with many stores to choice from and more. A must visit area.
Beautiful spot for the best pictures of Chicago
Great bridge for a walk with great views
DuSable bridge is Michigan Ave crossing the Chicago River. the RiverWalk on the south bank is fantastic. The spots between each bridge are created to have different effects...bars, restaurant nook, amphitheater, garden, etc. There are many boat tours that leave just east of here...I highly recommend the architectural tour!
Awesome! DuSable bridge is nice place to see in Downtown Chicago. Must see. Weather was perfect with little cold in mid Clouds.
The DuSable Bridge, previously called the Michigan Avenue bridge, is one of the best photo spots in Chicago. It is one of the only bridges in the world with four bridge tender houses. It is actually two separate bridges that move together. There is even a museum in this bridge, the McCormick Bridgehouse Museum.Take photos of the Chicago River, Wrigley Building, Trump Tower, and Tribune Tower surrounding you. Your are at the starting point for Chicagos famous Magnificent Mile, so take in a little shipping. One of the coolest places to see in Chicago and it is totally free.
Iconic bridge everyone visiting Chicago should see. You can walk across it or take a boat tour under it, either way it is a must see. Very beautiful and historic.
Chicago needs to really enforce to all the stupid tourists not to stop and take pictures here for long periods of time... nobody outside of the locals have any disregard for their surroundings and in the 4 years of living in the city, this bridge is one of the few things that i try to avoid at all costs next to navy pier.
Great photo ops for the photographer type
If youre visiting and on a busy schedule of touring, be sure that you stop for a moment and enjoy this beautiful view. I live here and still enjoy every time I cross.
Beautiful bridge with great views. In this place there are many tourists and a lot of shops for every taste. This bridge is very impressive.
My favorite bridge in Chicago (and the city sure has a lot of them). Its not just the bridge itself, but also its perfect location - near the actual lake, surrounded by some of the cities finest buildings.
A great little architectural spot that you cant miss, if you are wandering Michigan Avenue. Access to the waterfront park below from there, or stop and take a photo with the river. It can be a little congested in the day time for that though...
Breathtaking and beautiful views from this bridge. Equally awesome both day and night.I loved this place in Chicago.
Very interesting as you read the history.
Great tour boat tour
What I like about the bridge besides being stable it brought lots of people together for the view. You felt love, compassion, it was one nation. No color just peace and serenity.
Very enjoyable walk. Stand and enjoy the breeze. Plenty of people to watch on the bridge and below in boats and on bikes.
The bridge is a cornucopia of architecture, history, sculpture, and people watching. Vibrant and exciting. Go! Hang around! Enjoy!
Great views. Perfect spot for pictures
This is a great bridge for viewing the St Patricks Day dying of the river green.There is a small Museum in the southwest Tower very interesting exhibit on the history of Chicago worth a look.
Great place to look off of and see the river and boats!!! Very nice to walk across and looks like it has been taken care of well.
What an experience watching the dying of the river on St Patricks Day. This happens at 9 a.m. on the day of the parade. The parade starts at noon. We were able to walk down to the 2nd level of the bridge since the ground level was too busy to get a view. Remember their is no uber, Lyft or any hail service on this day for the streets that go from the bridge to the parade. Its only 4 blocks straight up & down Michigan. Also their are no restrooms available in the businesses even if you make a purchase. So downstairs in the Millennium train station is your best option.
I’ve been in Chicago for a year in a week... it is my home. I love it.I wrote this weeks into my life in Chicago because I ”knew” this city from years of business or visiting, “I know Chicago. Just walk...You get down to State and it’ll be like 10.”I’m such a nobody but listen to my historical tone ...but still honest and genuine.The DuSable Bridge (proper) is one of my personal, special places to go -I can walk from my place in 4-6 mins and I learned bridge+waterway make good neighbors.The structure, -surrounded by Chicago at every turn and the Chicago River is always impressive in both appearance and behavior. Crossing pedestrian/Riverwalk visitors/tourists cant miss my favorite aspect, the incredibly important series of flags. Chicago is Chicago: A Powerful American City is conveyed via these symbols and the uniqueness of the cityscape everywhere from your DuSable Bridge vantage.A visually impressive waterway meandering through the architecture of past authority while encompassed by architecture of todays American economy too. Like I said, the perspective of this position is uniquely powerful and encompassing.A side note regarding the DuSable Bridges day and night. Of course, visitors will need to walk the span with plenty of sun to appreciate the vantage. But I recently understood that 2:00-4:00am provides me with ownership of the whole thing. Personally pre-dawn DuSable is my go-to place for thinking, not thinking, etc (since I moved adjacent to river). Cant sleep? In 5 mins Im enjoying the bridge, the river, etc ---seldom a personal in-sight. I love it ...and Im not typically into peaceful spots or whatever. Apologies, I digress.Explore the historic and visually unrivaled DuSable Bridge via Chicagos Riverwalk.
This is a very nicely designed bridge. The sculptures on the four corners are beautiful. It is one of Chicagos many great architectural pieces.
Its a bridge. I have walked over it many times and have not yet fallen into the river. It would be nice if it had one of those airport people mover things though, you know they are like an escalator but they are horizontal.
Had a chance to see a pop up store inside. Very neat! Must remember to visit the bridge house museum in the summer.
Although the view is so beautiful, there are a lot of homeless living under the bridge, i feel sorry for these people, there was a homeless in every corner this last weekend it wasnt that bad years ago, the city most help them and relocate them too because this is a turistic area, we have to do something to help them, many of them are veterans it is sad The conditions they are living right now when they gave us freedom, the city better redirect funds to help our vets and homeless, this is wrong, so many programs helping others that dont really need it, and they are in extreme cold weather living under one of the most beautiful bridges.
The original founder of Chicago a colored man. Good looking statue set in front of the river. People learn historical facts of real life people.
Loved seeing this out of my hotel window so much I decided to sketch it.
I could spend a whole sunny day within one mile any direction from this bridge. A great place to see such diversity. Also has ties to The Dave Matthews Band!
Is better city of USA
Offers beautiful views
Great view of the city
I was HORRIFIED at the prospect of crossing the Chicago River in this spot! Has anyone played Oregon Trail? I thought wed have to ford the river after weeks of grueling pace, wed lose our oxen and so forth, but heres this bridge! I said woah! or something similar, when I saw it. My friends find it hard to invite me for visits due to heated logistical misunderstandings of this kind.
Very cool spot to see the city lots of shops, eateries, right over Chicago river. You can see the Chicago Tribune take the double decker bus tour or the architecture river tour.
Great views of the Chicago River
Was surprised this had reviews, but glad I clicked on them as I learned more about this bridge! Its certainly a hub of a lot of tourist attractions in the area and the first and most prominent bridge coming in from the lake.
One of the historic Chicago attractions: located on Michigan Avenue south of the beautiful Wrigley Plaza with the wedding cake Wrigley building and the stunning, formidable-looking Tribune Tower. This is one of Chicagos many bascule bridges crossing the Chicago River. On the bridge houses are reliefs of Fort Dearborn, the frontier settlement that would eventually turn into lovely Chicago.
Beautiful location, you can watch July 4 fireworks from here and very near to many other places. Must watch place.
One of Chicagos most beautiful bridges. Its also one of only two double decker bridges over the river! (the other one being the Lakeshore Dr. bridge. Its a great setting especially at night among some of Chicagos most famous buildings.
Great bridge with a lot of history. it has a lot of great points of interest around it as well. i highly suggest you stop by and take in all the views from both sides and walk across it
You can see famous Trump and Tribune Towers on the Bridge. Steps takes you down to a riverwalk or a river boat tour. The bridge between two famous avenues of downtown Michigan Ave and Magnificient Mile. One of the must see points for tourists.
Great history - the Dusable Bridge is a iconic bridge of Chicago. It represents Chicago with its historical, architectural buildings around. After visiting The Bean we started on a long walk from the Magnificient Mile and finished our walk stopping at the Dusable Bridge. We went down to check the McCormick Bridgehouse and River Museum. Even a lay person can understand the amazing bridge system explained clearly with pics and notes and the bridge keepers explain very patiently. There was also a documentary shown on the computer at the entry once you go down. As it was Sunday entrance was free. Other days it is 5$. There was also restrooms. So good to relieve after a long walk :)
This bridge is good for tourist that come to Chicago, IL to walk on its a historical bridge this is the area were Jean Bapitist Dusable lived in that area. Great places for families and friends.
It has a lovely view of the city in all directions. Especially the buildings along the river.
What a place to get a lovely view of the magnificent city. There is something special about this place that makes you feel the soul of this beautiful city
Super nice place to visit in Chicago! Take the river walk and enjoy a craft beer while there.
The bridge carries a name which should be iconic for Chicago, yet its still probably known by its former name. The man who first settled and built a permanent structure at this location has been, finally, honored with the naming of this important facility.
If you are visiting then you should definitely come here.
A beautiful bridge in the heart of downtown Chicago. Not a must-see if you are visiting the city for a day or two, but a nice-to-have if you are into the architecture of the city.
I loved this place. Is just a bridge but standing there at night on a rainy day, the feeling was amazing.

2022-03-15This bridge had one of the best views especially on St Patrick’s Day 2022 with the imposing Trump Tower on the right and a wide view of the river walk. Naturally it also has the maximum crowd but it is definitely worth the quick walk.
Review №2
2022-05-05Super pretty spot for pictures, for both day and night. I think this spot really lived up what Chicago represents, the amazing architecture, busy street, and the Chicago river. Pictures I took are definitely one of the most beautiful ones in my album and would definitely visit again in summer when the weather wasn’t too much of a pain.
Review №3
2022-05-22The Michigan Av Bridge is also called DuSable bridge in honor of Jean Baptiste du Sable, where his first homestead used to be and who is considered the Chicago founder and its first resident.On the bridge southern side, the 19th century Fort Dearborn was established. The bridge was opened to public in 1920.Around the bridge are some of the city most historic landmarks - the Tribune and Wrigley towers, and from the newer era the Trump tower.DuSable bridge offers terrific city views standing in the middle of Magnificent Mile.

2022-02-10My Wife and I visited the DuSable Bridge on January 23, 2022. This bridge is the bridge the Michigan Ave crosses the Chicago River at. It carries a lot of history and symbolism, since the guy it is named after, Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, is the guy who founded Chicago, and it sits in an area that has awesome riverfront views of a good bit of the prominent architecture in Chicago. We surely enjoyed it.

2022-03-16Came to see the Green River at the DuSable Bridge. The scenery was very beautiful! Definitely worth visiting and enjoying the views!

2021-08-03Beautiful sights & scenery. Wonderful vibe. Great place to take pictures. From out of town & was walking to the cloud gate in millennium park when I stumbled upon this wonderful sight. Was not expecting seeing this during the visit but im glad we did! Very nice riverview and I love artwork so that was definitely a fresh thing to see.

2021-11-03If you are in the area, DuSable Bridge is a great place to snap some photos and appreciate the beauty of the surrounding city. Take in the juxtaposition of nature, concrete, glass and steel. I got some nice pictures during my stay.

2022-04-11A very good place for photo shots. Incredible history bridge. Making the city connected with each other.
