The Chicago Riverwalk

Transportation
8
The Chicago Riverwalk provides a continuous walkway along the Main Branch of the Chicago River to Lake Michigan. The existing dock wall was extended into the Chicago River by welding new steel piles and pouring concrete, creating a new strip of usable land. This extended space underneath each bridge now allows a pathway where none existed before. Enjoy this unique urban view walking along the river's edge.
