Between New Bedford and Fairhaven there are actually three bridges, but the focus on this post is the Swing Truss Bridge and it was built between 1897 and 1899 and includes a 283.2 foot long swing truss which with its age and style I thought was a good candidate for some mono shots

Here I am walking over the portion of the bridge that swings open to allow ships and boats to head out, mostly fishing boats both commercial and private

Often when I do mono edits I do a variety of tones, but for this bridge I felt the shots I share here work better in straight Black and white or sepia edits
Looking along the side of the bridge when it is open for vehicle traffic.

And from the same point when the swing truss is open for boats to head in and out, and meanwhile traffic builds up on the road waiting for it to close again, and I am sure many get frustrated gettign caught when the road is closed as the bridge opens, but they do have scheduled time when it opens so I now know to go another way to Fairhaven if on the hour.
