Every year the bridges in the middle of downtown Chicago are raised to allow the the sailboats sail to Lake Michigan. Featured here is one of Chicago's busiest streets, Michigan Ave, which has a double-decker bridge. This is one of 52 moveable bridges in Chicago, the most for any city in the world.

All the cars, buses and pedastrians have to wait for the few boats to sail by... a process that takes about 15 minutes for each bridge. This happens once or twice a day in May and June.

I really love the two construction workers on right leaning on the stair railings watching the boats go by. Although the main Wacker Drive construction has been done for over a year now, this section of Wacker is still being worked on. And we can see why.

mmm, yes. :) <3 When I was little I used to frequent at a hotel near the bridge, I loved watching it.. there's a day when a lot of the sailboats come through it, thanks for the memories :]

It's nice to see something familiar. I like the postcardishness of it. It takes a perfect moment of time to get a good post card picture.

Haha, that's really cool. I live nearby Chicago, and go there pretty often, so I think that I take the bridge for granted. :D :glomp: I love it
