Hugh, I believe the issue may stem from the fact that large freight ships no longer navigate the Chicago River. As a result, the water traffic mainly consists of leisure boats, which typically aren’t big enough to necessitate the drawbridge operation.
I’ll investigate this further and get back to you!
Oh, really, Hugh? I know we don’t have cruise ships that dock here. I can only imagine it must happen frequently, especially during peak season! Thank you, Hugh! Cher xoxoxo
