ASB Bridge & fire dancers, 1_wm

Here, luminaries light the path towards Richard Berkely Riverfront Park, past some "Performance Art." Two fellows are doing a fire dance, with live torches, on a broad, round platform, at right.

 

The ASB Bridge, opened 12-28-1912, has a main span of 428 feet, making it the 9th longest "Vertical Lift Drawbridge" in the US.

 

The upper deck would carry autos and streetcars without interruption, even as the lower railroad deck was raised, to allow ships to pass.
