Hello
Was at the Philly Navy Yard last weekend. The Vertical Drawbridge looked very clean for it's old age.
Beautiful piece of machinery.

Nice shot, I like the view. But I find the squiggly warning road sign kind of odd, looks pretty straight. I have not been across that bridge, maybe swerving road on the other side of the bridge.

I took it to mean the road got very slippery when wet, etc.

The sign is kind of dual purpose.
First, the draw bridge portion has a metal grate roadway. If you ever drove on one you would notice that the car shifts left and right. The metal grating also gets very slippery when wet, and also ices quickly when cold.

Yes I see the sign purpose now. My wife poked me with the same info/feedback you all gave. Curve in the road sign is different.
