<p>Looking SE from near Portland Canal at L&amp;I Bridge.
Bridge tender's building.
This building houses controls for raising and lowering lift span.
Pilots of passing tows usually contact the bridge tender by radio to be sure the lift span will be in the raised position, although some boats are low enough to get under the bridge even when the span is lowered. 
Vertical clearance at pool stage is about 70 feet raised and 39 feet lowered.
Horizontal clearance is about 242 feet.
Ohio River mile 605.
Louisville, Kentucky.
