What is recorded here

Scherzer rolling lift bascule bridge, erected 1911. 197 feet long, four span (opening span of 62 feet) bridge resting on six concrete filled steel caissons having cast iron parapets. Bridge reconstructed in 1981, and no longer opening.
This bridge, although reconstructed, remains a very significant part of the city's industrial heritage. Its mechanism is the same as that of the Chicago River Bridge, and the steel spans were supplied by the Cleveland Bridge and Engineering Company. The bridge has important links to this part of the city, having been driven in the past by current received from the former Albert Road power station.
