World's Smallest Drawbridge
Located between Elys Harbour and the Great Sound in Bermuda, this
bridge is the smallest drawbridge in the world, just wide enough for a
boat mast to pass through. Obliging passers-by and motorists open the
central plank, only 22 inches wide, by hand to permit the mast of a
sailboat to pass through.

The bridge is located between Somerset and Southampton on the maps

:) Interesting.
Too bad that after 15 years none of the links work any more.
I wonder if the bridge is still there.
