It's not just about how fast the bridge will lift & lower, but it can also lift to several different heights depending on how tall the vessel passing underneath. Your wait time will also depend on the size & speed of the passing vessel.
Well, its kinda slow. I would say it takes 3-5 minutes.
It's not super slow (I've definitely waited for slower like the steel bridge) but it's not super fast either. I'd say 5 minutes to go up, then stays up for 10-15 minutes depending on what's going on down below then another 5 to go down. So just hope you arent late for work or a court date when you get stuck on the bridge, haha.
If it's up the wait is typically 10-20 minutes before traffic starts moving again.
