This low-level drawbridge runs right next to (and almost under) the high-elevation I-5 bridge. Good separated bike lanes in both directions connect the Burke Gilman trail and University of Washington to the North with Lake Union loop and the base of Capitol Hill to the South. Lots of boat traffic on sunny days, so be prepared to stop and watch them go by when the bridge goes up.
