Bridge called Somerset Bridge, connecting the island to the main island Somerset Bermuda archipelago. It was built almost 400 years ago. To be precise, it happened in 1620, the year.
After constant repair for many centuries, Somerset Bridge underwent a major renovation in the middle of the last century. Until the moment of reconstruction, the bridge was bred literally hands. Now movable parts are fixed on the brackets. This principle is called a cantilever bridge. The gap between the halves of the bridge is only 45 centimeters, and it closes a wooden panel. In fact, this is quite enough for the passage of boats. After all that is needed - pass high masts.
