Duluth Lift Bridge

Going up! No, not for this little speedboat. There was a large sailboat beyond approaching the bridge. Someday, I hope to capture images of those giant freighter and ore boats coming and going under this bridge. To learn more about the Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge, please see this site;

  2. It looks so large. Do ships have to pay to go under?

  3. That's a really neat bridge...I love that it just hoists itself up. I love the bridges that swing out too. In Florida all the bridges open and raise from the middle so these other ways fascinate me.

  4. I see it , but I don't get how it works. We don't have newfangled bridges down here.

  5. Nice photos there Dusty. Like the obliqueness on each shot. And no big crowd like the time I was up there :)

    For Virginia ...it's counterweights. About 900,000 lbs on each side.

  6. I've never seen a bridge like that! I wonder why they built it this way instead of the more typical two sides that lift up?

  7. My favorite summer-destination city. The lift bridge can be both frustrating if waiting to get to the other side, or fascinating when watching it go up and down.
