HISTORY

NAVY BRIDGE BELL

The Navy Drive Bridge
was first constructed in
1941 and included a unique
feature sitting in it’s center
far above the roadway; a
fully functioning Operator’s
house with a magnificent
cast iron bell that hung just
outside the doorway. While
the Navy Drive Bridge was
recently rehabbed and
widened in order to provide
operational e ciency for the
growing Port, the history of
the unique bridge features
was something the Port
wanted to maintain. The
bell will continue to reside
at the Port and serve as a
reminder of the rich history
of the Port property.
