Cape Cod Canal
The Cape Cod Canal, looking north from Mass Maritime Academy in Bourne. The 1933 Cape Cod Canal Railroad Bridge (which is normally kept open, as seen here) is the second longest lift bridge in the United States, with a main span of 544 feet. The Pan-Mass Challenge bike ride route traverses the 1933 Bourne Bridge in the background, which has a 616-foot main span that rises 135 feet above the waterway.
