The Cortland Street Drawbridge (originally known as the Clybourn Place drawbridge) over the Chicago River is the original Chicago-style fixed-trunnion bascule bridge, designed by John Ericson and Edward Wilmann. When it opened in 1902, on Chicago's north side, it was the first such bridge built in the United States. The bridge was a major advance in American movable bridge engineering, and was the prototype for over 50 additional bridges in Chicago alone. The bridge was designated as an ASCE Civil Engineering Landmark in 1981, and a Chicago Landmark in 1991.

  • Die Cortland Street Drawbridge, ursprünglich Clybourn Place Drawbridge, ist eine Klappbrücke in Chicago in den USA. Sie war die erste Brücke dieser Bauart, die vor allem in Chicago eingesetzt wurde, und wurde deshalb vom ASCE, dem amerikanischen Verband der Bauingenieure, auf die Liste der Wahrzeichen der Ingenieursbaukunst gesetzt.
