Michael,

Not being a Tribune subscriber out here in the Sticks, what are they planning to do? Will they replace it or are they abandoning that roadway across the tracks? Last time I used that bridge, the traffic was fairly heavy and consistent. Obviously, a two lane bridge would make more sense. However, the approaches, particularly on the south side are rather steep and difficult. If they close it, access to the adjacent Hinsdale Hospital will be more difficult. I would think for residents on the southeast side of town would be concerned about that access. There isn't another unrestricted crossing for quite a distance in either direction; Route 83 to the west and Ogden Ave. east of La Grange to the east. Of course there is the 294 Tollway, but access to that is very limited and would require considerably more travel time. Hopefully, if they replace it, they provide a sidewalk from which photos can be taken. Over the years, there have been some great shots from that location.

According to the Chicago Tribune the venerable Oak St bridge in Hinsdale IL will be removed early Tuesday morning between 01:30 and 03:30 a.m.; the crane for the lift will be assembled on Monday. People will be allowed to view the operation from the Highland platform. The Village has installed a video camera to record the event, but has not worked out the kinks on how to live stream it. They hope at the very least to post it to the village web site and public access channel.

Here’s a link to the article, but unless you are a Tribune subscriber you will not be able to read it.http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/hinsdale/news/ct-dhd-oak-bridge-removal-tl-0827-20150820-story.htm<http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/hinsdale/news/ct-dhd-oak-bridge-removal-tl-0827-20150820-story.html>

Thank you kindly,
