Belize City.   The Swing Bridge that crosses Haulover Creek is the last manually operated swing bridge in the Americas.  Every day at 5.30 in the morning and evening, road traffic is stopped and men use levers in a capstan to turn the bridge in the direction of the harbour so that boats and other river traffic can pass through.
