Originally built as an aerial transfer, ferry, or transporter bridge, was completed in 1905, the Aerial Bridge’s design centered around a gondola that could carry 350 people plus wagons, streetcars, or automobiles. A trip across the canal took about one minute, and the ferry car moved across once every five minutes during busy times of the day. However, it wasn’t long before the city was forced to remodel the bridge to accommodate increasing demand from tourists and expanding population.
