There was a very similar bridge serving Columbia Street in Naperville (2 blocks from the house where I grew up).  Perhaps there are drawings for it.

Larry,

 

Thanks for sharing the two photos of the bridge between Lisle and Naperville.  There is slightly different view of the bridge in Mike Spoor's book, CB&Q In Color, Volume 1,  on page 37 taken by George Speir on Sept 30, 1970.  The photo caption for George's photo gives the road name as "Yender Road".  Could it be possible that the same road had a different name on each side of the bridge.  We see it all the time where a particular street is named "X" in one village and "Y" in the village on the other side of the intersection?

 

Does anyone have a drawing of this bridge or similar bridges found along the CB&Q?

 

Thanks,  Dave Sarther    Tucson, AZ

And here's what it looked like, a view from each side:
