Fore River Bridge, Vertical lift bridge in Quincy and Weymouth, Massachusetts, US.
The Fore River Bridge extends 2,216 feet across the Weymouth Fore River, featuring two vehicle lanes in each direction plus dedicated bicycle paths and sidewalks.
The original bascule bridge from 1936 was replaced by a temporary structure in 2003, leading to the construction of the current bridge completed in 2018.
The bridge serves as a primary transportation link between communities, supporting 32,000 daily vehicle crossings and connecting local neighborhoods across the waterway.
The structure provides a vertical clearance of 60 feet when closed and extends to 220 feet when open, accommodating both maritime traffic and land transportation needs.
A section of the former temporary bridge found new purpose after being transported and installed as a river crossing in Perches, Haiti.
