"The crossing uses the lower deck of the world’s largest and heaviest double-decker lift bridge.

It can only be opened after the U.S. Coast Guard closes the shipping route through the Portage Canal, which allows the bridge to be lowered. In this position, vehicles use the upper deck while snowmobiles cross below."

32,400 cubic feet of snow hauled onto U.P. lift bridge for iconic snowmobile crossing.
