Know before the bridge goes up.
See bridge-lift conditions and nearby river traffic before you leave. A quick check can save a long wait—or help you choose another way.
River map
See what’s moving nearby.
The map shows recently seen vessels in the same river channel as the bridge. Larger vessels are called out because they can be more useful context for a possible lift.
Direct ship reports, received locally. BridgeLifts listens for radio signals broadcast by nearby vessels, giving us a quicker, clearer picture of potential bridge lifts—so you can save valuable time.
Vessel positions may be delayed or incomplete. A nearby vessel does not always mean the bridge will lift.

Built for the moment before you leave
A bridge lift can turn a normal trip into a late arrival.
BridgeLifts brings the bridge report and nearby river activity into one calm, useful view. Check before school pickup, a shift, an appointment, or the airport—and reroute when the extra time matters.
Always follow road signs, signals, closures, and instructions from public authorities. Bridge and vessel information can be late or incomplete.
