Bayfront Cam – Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge and Lake Superior

This version of the Bayfront Cam from Duluth Harbor Cam started streaming on 11 July 2020. It overlooks Bayfront Park in Duluth, Minnesota, with the Aerial Lift Bridge and Lake Superior beyond.

The Aerial Lift Bridge is Duluth's best-known landmark. Originally built in 1905 as a transporter bridge with a gondola, it was converted in 1929 into a vertical lift bridge whose deck rises to let ships pass through the Duluth Ship Canal. Crowds gather to watch giant freighters glide under it, each greeted with horn salutes.

## What to watch for

• The bridge lifting for ships
• Freighters and tall ships
• Concerts and festivals in Bayfront Park

Bayfront Festival Park hosts summer events such as Bayfront Blues Festival and, in winter, the Bentleyville Tour of Lights, one of the largest free holiday light shows in the country. Canal Park, with shops and the Lakewalk, is right next door. Lake Superior's weather can shift quickly, with fog rolling in even in summer. The stream is provided by Duluth Harbor Cam.
