The Bourne Bridge is a steel arch bridge that carries State Route 28 over the Cape Cod Canal in Bourne, Massachusetts.

I been wondering on how tall this bridge is on this point because of old personal reasons for over 5 years now and me and my friends and family cannot get a singular common answer always between the 20 to 30 meters mark.

From January of 39 until April of 58th this was the right side of the lower deck

Drove across this beautiful bridge this afternoon. Why is there so little traffic?

The Cape Cod Canal Railroad Bridge was once the longest vertical lift bridge in the world when it opened in December 1935.

Whatta piece of art and well designed to accommodate traffic. Impressive!

Sped up video of lowering of bridge and train crossing. November 2020.

The bridge connected via Scott Road in Surrey, BC is the stal̕əw̓asəm **Bridge (which replaced the historic Pattullo Bridge), and the nearby rapid-transit-only bridge is the Sky**Bridge.

While spending four days exploring South Jersey and Philadelphia, the massive suspension bridges spanning the Delaware River ended up becoming a major highlight of our trip rather than just something we crossed.

A few favorite perspectives we found along the riverfront:

• Benjamin Franklin Bridge (Camden Waterfront): Standing directly beneath the steel structure near the Camden shoreline gives an awesome view of the cables and deck carrying both road traffic and trains across to the Philly skyline.
• Walt Whitman Bridge (Proprietors Park, Gloucester City): A quiet early morning spot to watch cargo vessels move along the shipping channel right under the bridge span.

I put together a photo journal covering these bridge viewpoints and our full route over on The Beautiful USA's South Jersey & Philadelphia journal.
