The Aerial Lift Bridge in Duluth, Minnesota, is a remarkable piece of engineering and a prominent landmark in the city. Originally completed in 1905 as a transporter bridge, it was converted into a vertical lift bridge in 1929. This transformation allowed the bridge's central span to be lifted to accommodate the passage of large vessels beneath it, making it one of the most iconic structures on the Great Lakes. The bridge connects the city of Duluth with the Park Point neighborhood and serves both vehicular and pedestrian traffic, offering a unique spectacle as it raises and lowers several times a day.
