I grew up in Port Huron Michigan and the boats used to just blast their horn to get the bridgetender's attention! As long as it was on the half hour or hour the tender would lift the bridge.
If you have concerns that the operation of the bridge is not being conducted correctly, I suspect you would want to contact the Coast Guard as they should have enforcement jurisdiction in this matter.
