Weymouth Town Bridge is a lifting bascule bridge connecting the formerly separate boroughs of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis. When lifted it allows boats access to the inner backwater of Weymouth Harbour, known as Weymouth Marina. It was opened in 1930 and, is the sixth to have been built across the harbour since 1597. Today the hydraulically-operated bridge is raised every two hours, 363 days of the year. It is listed Grade II.
