Swing low.....
This week's Saturday Timewatch looks at Sargent swing bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway. The last bridge of its kind in Texas, it is currently being replaced by a fixed-span, high-clearance bridge. The work on that is well underway off picture to the right of the photo.
Rather than trying to explain the operation, it is easier to share this YT video taken by someone else from the same spot as the photo above www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHwTyj8rGk4
As Wiki explains, "The Intracoastal Waterway is a 3,000-mile inland waterway along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts of the United States, running from Boston, Massachusetts, southward along the Atlantic Seaboard and around the southern tip of Florida, then following the Gulf Coast to Brownsville, Texas"
