That's fun to watch. I worked in Chicago for 3 years and my apartment was across the street from the Chicago River. All the bridges on the river raised like this so I would see them go up and down all the time. I loved watching them. Thanks for the memories.
We have some of those lift bridges in South Carolina and people get very impatient waiting for the boats. Most have been replaced by high bridges that allow all boats to pass under and cars over top and hurrying on their way.
Ah, it's one of those bridges! We have a couple of bridges that shift to make way for taller boats, both on the Canal, but the techniques are a bit different.
Chilly day for a bicycle ride.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenLove this kind of bridge Marianne, we have a much smaller one at the marina that rises when tall boats go through ✨
