The current Bridge was opened on the 4 July 1930. It is the sixth bridge to be built in this location - the first was believed to have been built in the late 1500's. The previous bridge was constructed in 1824 at the height of Weymouth's popularity as a Royal Regency Resort. Like Tower bridge in London, the current bridge is a bascule bridge - a type of drawbridge that uses counter weights to raise the road levers.
