39 Chicago River in Downtown Chicago, Illinois

The Chicago River is a 156 mile waterway forming a “Y” along Wacker Drive. The split into the north and south branches defines several districts of central Chicago before flowing into Lake Michigan. In 1900, civil engineers reversed its direction by building a series of canal locks. This view shows the DuSable Bridge, also called the Michigan Avenue Bridge. In the center is the Wrigley Building and on the left is the base of Trump Tower.
