Enjoy watching the live PTZ webcam of the Prescott Rail and Lift Bridge located on the BNSF St. Croix in Wisconsin, USA.
Departing live from Scubs Place, you’ll get a great overview of the area and the important transportation artery that crosses the St. Croix River, connecting Prescott, Wisconsin, to Hastings, Minnesota.
This bridge is a key element for freight rail traffic served by the BNSF (Burlington Northern Santa Fe) Railroad, ensuring the continuous movement of goods and materials throughout the region. The bridge’s lifting design raises the center span to accommodate river traffic, including barges and boats, creating a harmonious fusion of rail and water traffic.
On the other hand, nearby in Wisconsin is the Prescott Swing Bridge, also known as the Point Douglas Swing Bridge, which also crosses the St. Croix River. Unlike a lift bridge, the Point Douglas Bridge is a swing bridge with a movable span that allows watercraft to pass underneath. Both bridges play a key role in the region’s transport infrastructure, allowing goods and people to cross the river.
BNSF St. Division Croix is part of an extensive railroad network that connects the Midwest with other regions of the United States, ensuring the efficient delivery of goods and supporting economic growth and development.
