I wonder which name of the Canal it crosses?
This bascule bridge is behind a security checkpoint in a NASA rocket testing facility. Just tell them you are with BridgeHunter and are here to photo the bridge and I am sure they will just wave you on through...
I actually don't even know if this bridge is historic or not. But it has the look of a Chicago style bascule. Maybe someone who works at the space center will find this page and tell us about the bridge... or even better supply photos!
From what I've read at NASA's site, the canal system has no name.
