Talk:Aerial Lift Bridge

Untitled
I added reference to the Puente Colgante in Bilbao, which is actually the oldest (according to other wikipedia pages Transporter_bridge, my girlfriend who's from Bilbao, and UNESCO). --Abe Kazemzadeh "Hooray for Wikipedia!"

Close up of bridge present day needed
There needs to be a photo of the bridge as it is today up close. The current picture representing the bridge as of 2005 is of at least a mile away. From that picture, you cannot see the bridge operator's control room that goes up and down with the bridge...what a fun ride!

--10-30-07, Looks like we have got some great pictures. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thadrd28 (talk • contribs) 00:50, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Your need to do homework on this subject doesn't imply an obligation of Wikipedia editors to provide the content you want. They would need sources, and possibly the same sources you would otherwise use in your assignment. In fact, why don't you combine doing your school work with improving the article yourself?  However, to do either, you will need to be able to proofread. SlowJog (talk) 18:34, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Economy?
I'm wondering, who pays for the operation of the bridge? If it is raised for a vessel, are the owners of the vessel charged? Is there a tax on vessels using the port of Duluth? Or what? SlowJog (talk) 18:30, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Mention of new policy regarding "bridging"?
There was a new policy put in place in Duluth a couple years ago so that the bridge would go up only on the hour and half hour (except for salties and lakers) to help with the "bridging" phenomena. Does anyone have any sources confirming this? It could just be rumors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.29.190.61 (talk) 18:39, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

T personally know that there were actually three aerial lift bridged built in the US. This article states that there were two but does not mention where the other one is (or was). The one in Duluth Minn is the most well known. There were two others built across the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal, one at Chesapeake City, Maryland and the other was a railroad bridge near St George, Delaware. The railroad bridge was on the Pennsylvania Railroad line going to Cape Charles Virginia. The Aerial Lift Bridge in Chesapeake City Maryland was destroyed in 1942 or 1943 when it was struck by a ship. A ferry system was used until it was replaced by a suspension bridge which is still in service today. I think it would be appropriate if this information could be added to to your article. This information is personal knowledge. I lived near Chesapeake City during World War 2.
