Our previous Mystery Photo

Last week’s mystery, “Cool bridge,” was a picture sent in Summerville reader Frank Bouknight when he was floating on the Ashley River.  It showed the CSX rail bridge near Drayton Hall.

Congratulations to those who identified it: Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas;; Jay Altman of Columbia; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.;  Marnie Huger of Richmond, Va.; and Kristina Wheeler of Charleston.

Peel shared that the bridge crosses the Ashley River in Charleston near Brevard Road and the Seagate Village condominium complex. “The bridge was built in 1927 and is a bascule deck-girder bridge is a railroad bridge over Ashley River. When closed, there is a limited 3-foot vertical clearance under the bridge. When opened, it affords a 60-foot horizontal clearance for passing boats. Under normal operation the bridge will open on signal and as required (i.e., ‘on signal’) between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. From 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., a request to open the drawbridge can be made, but only if at least three hours notice is given.”
