Thanks to photographer Rusty Clark for sharing the following images and text via Commons.
The Port Canaveral Barge Canal Bridge, on Florida highway SR 401, consists of three adjacent bridges, all with double-leaf bascule-type drawbridge spans.

This view from the southwest mainly shows the westernmost bridge (one of two for southbound traffic, both built in 1963), with the two adjacent bridges mostly obscured from view. The upper portion of the bridge operator's house (or tender's house) for the draw spans is visible, between the nearest bridge and the adjacent bridge.
The bridge tender's house for the Port Canaveral Barge Canal Bridge, on Florida highway SR 401. The bridge actually consists of three adjacent bridges, all with double-leaf bascule-type drawbridge spans, the opening of which is controlled from here.
