Wabash Avenue Underbridge Connection and Riverwalk
The Chicago Dept. of Transportation’s Wabash Avenue Underbridge Connection and Riverwalk project built the longest stretch of Chicago Riverwalk to date. The $9.5-million project consists of rehabilitation of the existing river wall and pedestrian walk, as well as new construction along the south bank of the Chicago River from State Street Bridge, under Wabash Avenue Bridge, and extending toward Michigan Avenue.
Work began with demolition of existing landscaping, sidewalks, sheet pile caps, granite pavers, and lighting.
