Bataan-Corregidor Memorial Bridge

The Bataan-Corregidor Memorial Bridge is a bridge connecting Chinatown and the South Loop of Chicago named after the Bataan Peninsula and island of Corregidor in the Philippines, which were sites of great wartime struggle and heroism during World War II. The structure of the bridge includes seven arches evoking the spirit and aspirations of Americans, especially Filipinos, who fought fiercely to protect freedom and democracy. Travellers can walk through the magnificent high arches and enjoy the panoramic view of the city skyline.
