The Portage Canal Lift Bridge – A Different Angle

I think it’s probably safe to say that the good ‘ole lift bridge connecting Houghton to the Northern Keweenaw is one of the most photographed landmarks in the area. Doing a search on Flickr yields many beautiful pics of the bridge (check out this panoramic – wow!).

My husband found a different angle to snap a shot. When you drive across the bridge, it doesn’t seem very long. But his pic makes it seem so long.

I just remembered – I have some older pics of freighters and the lift bridge. I’ll have to find them and post them. It still amazes me that they can navigate under the bridge.
