Fremont Bridge, a frequently opened bascule span

The Fremont Bridge is a double-leaf bascule bridge carrying local traffic across the Lake Washington Ship Canal between the Fremont and Queen Anne neighborhoods. It is notable for opening many times per day to allow boats to pass, making it one of the most frequently opened drawbridges in the world. The bridge is a longstanding local landmark dating from the early 20th century and sits near Fremont's commercial district and nearby waterfront parks.
