One of the very few Bascule bridges in Connecticut. A great view to see it being operated. Nice to walk through downtown Mystic.

This bridge is very interesting and well worth watching it go up as boats pass underneath. It takes approximately 5 minutes or the bridge to operate. I believe it is well worth watching.
