A Unique Operational Bridge with a Historic Past

The Fairview Lift Bridge is a dual deck lift bridge that spans the Yellowstone River and connects Montana and North Dakota. Built in 1913, this bridge is still operational, making it a unique engineering feature for its time. The bridge has a fascinating history, having survived both natural disasters and human conflicts. The area around the bridge is home to beautiful natural scenery and wildlife. I was impressed by the bridge's intricate machinery which allows it to elevate and lower to allow shipping traffic to pass through. I also observed how the local community uses the bridge for recreational activities, such as fishing and boating. Overall, the Fairview Lift Bridge is a must-visit for anyone interested in history and engineering.
