Busy Access Road bridge. During the weekday it opened on the half hour for us. On the weekend it opens whenever requested. Nice operator.

This drawbridge is poorly managed. It takes a minimum of 15 minutes to complete a cycle and since it operates on what seems like a half hour cycle, it fails to operate in any function for half of its existance.
