Smokies Light

The two towers are part of the Bridge of Lions which is being completely rebuilt due to its age. The road will pass between the two towers. The large structure with metal trusses is a temporary lift bridge, with the road bed lifted up for our tiny little boat to pass under. When the old bridge is returned to service the temporary bridge will be taken down and buried at sea to create an artificial reef. The image below is of the schooner Freedom which was also waiting for the bridge to raise.
