Plans for the Division Street project can be found
here (PDF). Note that those plans have not yet been Gabe Klein-ified as the Damen/Elston/Fullerton project was to become more bike/ped friendly. It appears that the western span on Division will be cable-stayed while the eastern span will be a mirror of the Halsted arch.
All of the projects mentioned here, and then some, are listed in a 2010
bridges wish list (PDF). Well, not really a wish list per se, but the highest-priority bridge replacements in the city. Probably most or all of these will get built eventually as funding allows.
