Bridge over Calumet River jams from heat hours after similar issue with DLSD bridge

A bridge over the Calumet River jammed due to extreme heat shortly after a similar incident occurred with a DLSD bridge. Reports indicate that the DLSD bridge involved in the heat-related jam had been officially deemed structurally deficient several years ago. Both incidents highlight critical infrastructure failures caused by rising temperatures, leading to significant traffic disruptions. The recurring nature of these malfunctions underscores ongoing concerns regarding the maintenance and structural integrity of local bridge systems.
