Yeah Adrian, this is not the time to complain about historicism. If they build a new bridge say at the Spire site or a pedestrian bridge, or a new bridge for a street further south on the river and it is classical, then you can complain, but returning a bridge to its original design is not a crime. Yes its a shameful behavior in our past, but that is how Chicago is, it charges recklessly headlong into the future and then goes to far and retreats into the past for 40-50 years. We are about due for another reckless charge it seems...

Also, every new bridge that I can think of that has been built here lately has been of a nice modern design or a simple utilitarian overpass design, no new bridges seem to get the pomo treatment...
