Kinzie Street Bridge

The Kinzie Street Bridge is a bridge built in 1909 that spans the Chicago River in downtown Chicago, Illinois, United States.^[1]^[2]

In April 1992, remodeling work on the pilings for the bridge damaged a tunnel located under the Chicago River. The tunnel breach eventually led to the Chicago flood, which flooded the Chicago Loop with an estimated 250 million US gallons (1,000,000 m³) of water.^[3]
