The Blynman Bridge, a.k.a. the Cut Bridge is raised and lowered to
allow boats to go between the Annisquam River and Gloucester Harbor.

The red lights flash on, the siren screams, the gates swing across the boulevard, the gears grind, and the jaws of the drawbridge crack open to let a fishing dragger through. For a few minutes Gloucester is almost an island.

The gears are moving again. The bridge is coming down.

thecutbridge.com has a live webcam of the Blynman Bridge in operation.

It's almost done. Soon, the gates will rise and the cars will begin crossing.

Then the jaws descend and shut with a toothsome click, the gates swing clear, and the line of summer traffic drones across again, always with that urgency: can we make it before the next one shuts us off?
