One black and white photograph showing a new steel truss bridge under construction over a river. The view looks along a calm river and shows completed sections of a new steel truss bridge in the foreground. Barges and cranes can be seen near the shore at each end of the bridge. The old bridge and shorelines are visible in the background. A typewritten and handwritten label in the lower right corner of the photo shows "Fitz-Simons & Connell, Dredge & Dock Division of MC&S, Job #FC1019, Steel Erection, Smith Bridge Highway, 66 Desplaines [Des Plaines] River, looking east, 10/17/56."
