Ogden Avenue is a street extending from the Near West Side of Chicago to Montgomery, Illinois.
This extension, largely built in the 1920s, was completed in 1934 with bridges and a connecting viaduct across Goose Island and the North Branch of the Chicago River.
[2] In the late 1960s, as part of an urban renewal project for Old Town, the street was vacated in this area and sold off for development.
In the 1920s the broad avenue became an important arterial carrying auto traffic through the city's West Side.
Further outside Chicago, a portion of the roadway from Harlem Avenue through the western suburbs carries U.S. Route 34.
