- Description
-
The bridge spans a small canal which was put through the thin but long sand bar named Minnesota Point in 1870–71. In 1905 a suspended gondola with a capacity of 350 people plus wagons, streetcars, or automobiles made the trip across the canal taking about one minute and ran every five minutes during busy times of the day. In 1929 remodeling removed the gondola and incorporated a lifting platform into the structure. The new bridge first lifted for a vessel on March 29, 1930.
The bridge can be raised to its full height in about 3 minutes, and goes up 25 to 30 times daily during busy parts of the shipping season. The span is about 390 feet. As ships pass, there is a customary horn-blowing sequence which is copied back. (From Wikipedia)
