The Odgen avenue Viaduct passed thru the area north of Cabrini-Green and then Over Halsted. This is the Intersection of Halsted and Division and the overpass went right over Halsted. To see a picture of what it looked like you can visit forgottenchicago.com. Today one of the last Cabrini-Green highrises can be seen in the background.
