Giant ship going under the Lift Bridge in Duluth | Green Earth

The Arrowhead Bridge – 1927-1985 The Arrowhead Bridge connected West Duluth to Superior’s Billing’s Park neighborhood across the St. Louis River for 57 years. Built by the Arrowhead Bridge Co., it opened on March 15, 1927. The company charged a toll to cross the bridge until 1963, when Minnesota and Wisconsin state officials paid $200,000 to make it a toll-free public bridge. The Arrowhead Bridge was dismantled in 1985 after the opening of the Richard I. Bong Memorial Bridge. – See the postcards

See a sailboat swept into lift bridge as winds shift. "The usual Wednesday night sailboats races turned into near disaster as the temperatures dropped from 80 F to 48F in 20 minutes just as the sailboats entered the big lake. 10 minutes later a sailboat was swept into the Lift Bridge as it attempted to make safe harbor." –Dennis O'Hara © Dennis O’Hara.
