The Bridge:
The Mystic River Bascule Bridge is a bascule bridge spanning the Mystic River in Mystic, Connecticut in the United States. It carries vehicle and foot traffic directly into the tourist district of town via 33 ft-wide Main Street (U.S. Route 1).
The Strauss Heel-trunnion type bridge was designed by former Otis Elevator Company Chief Engineer Thomas Ellis Brown of New York and built in 1920 by the J. E. FitzGerald Construction Company of New London, Connecticut, according to its historical marker. Its movable span is 85 ft (26 m) wide, 218 ft (66 m) long, weighs 660 short tons (589 long tons; 599 t), and employs two 230 short tons (205 long tons; 209 t) concrete-filled counterweights. Until 1928, the bridge carried streetcars of the Groton and Stonington Street Railway.
It is operated by the Connecticut Department of Transportation and offers and opens for approximately five minutes around 2,200 times per year, carrying an average daily traffic of 11,800. Driven by two 1,400 pounds (640 kg) 40 horsepower (30 kW) direct current motors, its span is greased and inspected every 100 openings or two weeks during the winter. From May 1 to October 31 the bridge opens hourly during daylight at 40 minutes past the hour and on demand.
Mystic is a village and census-designated place (CDP) in New London County, Connecticut, in the United States. The population was 4,205 at the 2010 census.[1] Mystic has no independent government because it is not a legally recognized municipality in the state of Connecticut. Rather, Mystic is located within the towns of Groton (west of the Mystic River, and also known as West Mystic) and Stonington (east of the Mystic River).
About Mystic:
Historically, Mystic was a leading seaport of the area, and the story of Mystic's nautical connection is told at Mystic Seaport, the nation's largest maritime museum,[citation needed] which has preserved a number of sailing ships (most notably the whaleship Charles W. Morgan) and seaport buildings. The village is located on the Mystic River, which flows into Long Island Sound, providing access to the sea. The Mystic River Bascule Bridge crosses the river in the center of the village. According to the Mystic River Historical Society, the name Mystic is derived from the Pequot term missi-tuk, describing a large river whose waters are driven into waves by tides or wind.

Mystic Seaport or Mystic Seaport: The Museum of America and the Sea, in Mystic, Connecticut, is the largest maritime museum in the world. It is notable for its collection of sailing ships and boats, and for the re-creation of the crafts and fabric of an entire 19th-century seafaring village. It consists of more than 60 original historic buildings, most of them rare commercial structures moved to the 19-acre (0.077 km2) site and meticulously restored.[1]

Mystic Bascule Bridge
This is the Bascule Bridge in Mystic, CT. Built in 1922, it still operates today nearly flawlessly. It is absolutely silent and runs many times per day, year round. This is one really cool prototype I'd love to see on a standard gauge layout!

Mystic River Bridge Project Completed: The End of the New Beginning
With Cianbro crews packing up and moving on from the famed Mystic River Drawbridge in Mystic, Connecticut, the community that has welcomed team members during the three years of restoration work thought it fitting to present to present the Cianbro team with a gift. The electrical and mechanical systems have been turned over to local authorities and Cianbro has requested the final inspection on the bridge. It's a bittersweet parting for team members who have become close with the community and with the landmark drawbridge that the team has restored to youthful condition. Team members Matt Hebert, Kim Sieber and Joanna Pyun join Regional Vice President Jeff Towle in summing up the successful job.

Mystic River Bascule Bridge Rehabilitation: On Schedule, Under Budget
After three years of effort, Cianbro's Southern New England team is preparing to wrap up the Mystic River Bascule Bridge Rehabilitation Project in Connecticut. The deadline for substantial completion is April 15th, 2013, and the team is on track to finish the project on time and under budget despite more structural rehabilitation required than originally contemplated. It's an outstanding feat, given the tight jobsite in a busy commercial district downtown, the need to keep vehicles and pedestrian traffic moving, and the big repairs that were necessary for an old historic bridge that is beloved by the local citizenry. Project Superintendent Matt Hebert talks about the final steps in a memorable project.
