High Bridge – Part 4

Canal bridges in the Chesapeake City area – circa 1907 – 1949: High Bridge – Part 4

 

Here you are standing on High Bridge looking south, ready to walk the Causeway, cross Long Bridge, and enter South Chesapeake City. You can see at left the Corps of Engineers’ buildings and smoke stack in the distance. Notice the horse and the ship (headed west) waiting for the bridge to swing open so it can sail through. This wooden walkway extended pretty far and swung to the right until it hit the Causeway road.
