The Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge is a unique and iconic structure located in Duluth, Minnesota. Completed in 1905, it serves as a vital connection between the city and Minnesota Point, allowing both vehicles and ships to pass. The bridge can lift its central span to accommodate large vessels entering the Port of Duluth. This remarkable bridge is a type of bascule bridge, which means it can pivot upward to create a passageway. It stands 135 feet above the water when raised and is a popular tourist attraction, offering stunning views of the Lake Superior shoreline and the surrounding area.
