Temporary Pontoon Bridge Test

The National Guard and local Coast Guard base were testing out a temporary pontoon bridge to cross the Portage Waterway. In case the nearby Lift Bridge were to break down for an extended period, it is important that another link be established quickly. Both local hospitals and many other emergency services are on the north side of the waterway (hence the tests with firetrucks and ambulances).
