The automatic barrier placement is a nice safety feature that every drawbridges should have including two of them in San Francisco. It prevents cars from accessing the.drawbridge before the drawbridge is activated by the attendant at the control tower
@LIRR175 If you look closely on the Queens side of the bridge, you will see a yellow NYCDOT van. There were two or three people in there. One of them is the person in the bridge tower, the other was the one that was standing next to me, and I think there might have been another guy on the Queens side doing the same thing. This bridge is not manned 24 hours, as it is not a busy enough to warrant that much manpower.
saw the bridge open midday today.

Are these bridge openings planned in advance so they can have the appropriate crews there, or is the bridge staffed around the clock like some?
I like brights
Is this in Wisconsin?
Not even close.
NYC
It’s in Brooklyn connecting into Queens.
Milwaukee does have a good number of frequently opening drawbridges, however.
