Additional Description: North Adams Street Lift Bridge over the Erie Canal. The bridge motors are no longer reliable, so it has been left in the raised position indefinitely. There is a twin bridge a few blocks west (Exchange Street) that is restored and functioning. When built, heavy canal traffic in season meant these bridges were predominently in the raised position. Staircases at either end (far left) allowed pedestrians to use the bridges when raised.
