Wappoo Creek Bridge, Drawbridge in Charleston, United States.
The Wappoo Creek Bridge spans across Wappoo Creek, connecting Charleston to James Island with a 33-foot vertical clearance for boat passage.
The current bridge structure replaced a wooden toll bridge from 1918 and opened on June 12, 1956, with construction costs reaching $900,000.
The bridge carries the name Burnet R. Maybank Memorial Bridge, honoring a former Charleston mayor who later served as South Carolina governor and U.S. senator.
The bridge operates on a scheduled opening system, lifting every half hour during weekdays from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM for maritime traffic.
A boat ramp beneath the bridge structure provides direct water access to the Intracoastal Waterway for small vessel operators.
