Swing bridge connecting Southport Island to Boothbay Harbor.

Road cycling

This is an impressive swing bridge that connects Southport Island to Boothbay Harbor. Maine has very few movable bridges and most of them are very small. This swing bridge however is among the largest in the state.

Road cycling

Bridge generally opens on every hour and half hour during the summer. More frequently on weekends, and weather dependent (depends on boat traffic)
