Бързи факти: A floating pontoon bridge spans across the water, connecting two bustling parts of the city. It swings open several times a day to let ships pass, creating a lively scene loved by locals and visitors.
Акценти: The bridge’s nickname, 'The Swinging Old Lady,' comes from its unique ability to swing open horizontally on a massive central pivot, offering fascinating views of the harbor. At night, decorative lights illuminate the bridge, making it a stunning spectacle framed by the glowing cityscape and calm waters.
