Town Bridge, Grade II listed bascule bridge in Weymouth, England.
The Town Bridge spans across Weymouth Harbor, connecting the two sides with a steel structure that lifts to allow maritime vessels passage underneath.
The current bridge, constructed in 1930 for £90,000, replaced five previous structures dating back to 1597 when the first wooden bridge was built.
The bridge serves as a central point for local celebrations, with regular lifting demonstrations that draw residents and visitors to observe maritime operations.
The bridge operates on a regular schedule, lifting every two hours throughout the day to accommodate boats entering and exiting Weymouth Marina.
The bridge combines hydraulic engineering with maritime requirements, maintaining continuous water access while supporting road traffic between Weymouth and Melcombe Regis.
