All good shots JayRay. I actually was in Duluth about 12 years ago and may have a few of the lift bridge. Yours are nice! I especially like the last mill shot as I’m partial to mills. Where was that located?
Thank you Steve! That vertical lift bridge in Duluth really gets a work out, with a lot of operations everyday! Saw it in the fall of 2022. The mill is a re-creation at Dogwood Canyon located south of Branson, MO. Dogwood Canyon is owned by Johnny Morris (of Bass Pro) a great photo op in both the spring and the fall.

The city of South Bend exists because of the St Joe River, so I guess it would be churlish to complain about the number of bridges - or of the 'detours' to get to a bridge. I still remember my parents going out of their way to avoid the "Darden Rd bridge" when I was in High School {that was 60 years ago!}. Some mayor has built a modern {"souless"} replacement since then, but the old bridge remains for pedestrians. It proudly proclaims that it was built in 1884 by P.E. Lane of Chicago {I expect the original signs were raised black lettering on 'natural' or white metal, but that was many many paintings by civil servants ago; my sixty-year-old memories involve a green bridge without the vertical bars which minimize the likelihood of falling off}.

Ran across a couple of interesting bridges captured on our travels.
The first one is from Alaska where the bridge was across a ravine that was a fault line. Every time there was any movement from the fault they would have to repair the approaches on both sides of the fault. To make the repairs a little less of a problem they made a suspension bridge from one side of the fault. Now I'm told the repairs are generally limited to one side of the ravine.
The second has two bridges The high vehicle bridge over the port entrance. The other one is that low flat swing bridge with all those pontoon looking floats under the bridge deck. It would swing across the port entrance for pedestrian traffic.

That's a nice pair of bridges. Those Alaskan earthquakes are not infrequent!

Very nice set, Tim. I got a chuckle out of the final one. The views from the top of the bridge must be spectacular.
