Belize Swing Bridge
by ATXtraveler
Although very outdated, Belize is the one city in the world that can still boast it owns and operates a manual swing bridge. For many years, people have moved away from this technology, opting for mechanically operated bridge systems. Belize City however still employs at minimum 16 hands per day to open and close this bridge. Its purpose is to move many boats into safe harbor for evenings, so it is only opened twice a day. Once in the morning to let boats leave, and once at night to let them back in.
