Just how hot is it today [Jun 25, 2025]? 🥵
It’s so hot... the Great Bridge Bridge wouldn’t close!
The Chesapeake Fire Department is currently on scene working alongside Public Works after a heat-related malfunction caused the bridge to remain in the open position. Crews from Fire Station 5 and Fire Boat 4 are flowing water on the bridge to help cool it down.
Please use alternative routes and stay tuned to the City's social media pages for updates on the status of the bridge. 🔥🌉🚒

[There are some comments about better ways to spray the water to cool the bridge.]

It is obvious that it is a rolling bridge, but it doesn't have the rack and pinion structure that is normally used to move a bridge of this design.
This view confirms my theory that they use hydraulic rams to move the bridge.
