05 Queen Emma Bridge
Connecting Punda and Otrobanda, the Queen Emma Bridge was built across St. Ann's Bay in 1888. It's a 548-foot long pontoon bridge with hinges that allow it to open up for ocean-bound ships. From about 1901 until 1934, it was a toll bridge, and people who crossed without shoes were exempt from paying. It's been renovated several times since then, and in 1974, motorized traffic was halted.
