Montgomery-Ward bridge

The Montgomery-Ward Bridge is a bridge built over the Chicago River in Chicago. It gets its name from the Montgomery Ward company which owned a building near the bridge. The bridge is made up of two large timbers (big beams of wood) that go across the river and two smaller timbers that connect the two large timbers in the middle. The bridge allows people and cars to cross the river, which is important for people who live on the other side of the river. It also helps to keep the river clean by keeping the water from flowing too quickly.
