Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge

The Aerial Lift Bridge spans 501.9 feet (153m) crossing over the Duluth Ship Canal. The bridge was built to allow access to Minnesota Point from when a gap was created to establish the Duluth Ship Canal from the St. Louis River out to Lake Superior. It can be lifted to allow for 135 feet (41m) of clearance for water traffic. Watching this bridge raise for large sea vessels as they leave the canal to Lake Superior past the lighthouses is quite an experience. It is the most photographed bridge on the Lake Superior Circle Tour.
