Lift bridge in Virginia



One of the many bascule bridges along the VA section of the ICW. These bridges are manned by a bridgetender who manually engages the mechanism to lift the bridge. Some bridges open on request and others on schedule. The bridgetender may "bunch" up a number of boats before he opens the bridge to faciliate the flow of auto traffic.
