It’s bridge lift for tall masted yachts to enter into the lake, happens every year.. this is why you pay attention to news

It was damn near 100° yesterday and it’s already 92° right now. That metal expanded and hasn’t had time to cool down.

Thermal expansion. The heat from the hot summer temperatures caused the steel of the bridge to expand.
