I used to live there I used to go over that bridge every time my relatives came to visit (they wanted to go to the dockyard).

Interesting but useless fact, when they were doing work on the bridge, they built a bridge to the side of it out of, for lack of a better term, a stack of black rocks with a paved road on top. Also, if you look at the water-level photo, the little square cut-out in the middle of the bridge is so sailboats can be directed underneath. I think its neat :/

actually that’s not the Somerset Bridge, it’s one of the other bridges on the west side of the island

the Somerset Bridge can be seen here connecting Somerset Island and Bermuda Island

Hey, I love absent minded browsing. Nice shot of the bridge. It’s never used any more, but people get a kick out of it all the same. The trick is getting a boat underneath it though.

Er, river-level shot? That bridge doesn’t cross a river, that’s the ocean.

At the airport at the other end of the island, there’s a good shot of a plane about three seconds from landing, right off the western end of the runway.

The link for the “great river-level shot” is broken by an extra dot at the end.
