Wilson Pigott Bridge, Bascule bridge in Fort Myers Shores, Florida, US
The Wilson Pigott Bridge spans across the Caloosahatchee River with two traffic lanes and reaches a height of 27 feet above water level.
The structure, completed in 1960, replaced a previous swing bridge from 1911 that connected North and South Olga Drive three miles downstream.
The bridge carries the name of a former Lee County Commissioner and represents the evolution of transportation infrastructure in southwest Florida.
Maritime traffic requires bridge opening signals through one long and one short horn blast or communication with the bridge tender on VHF Channel 09.
The Florida Department of Transportation considers replacing this drawbridge with either a new movable structure or a high-level fixed-span bridge.
