Bridge tender

A bridge tender operates and maintains a bridge to ensure the safe passage of water traffic and vehicle traffic on the bridge.^[1] For a railroad bridge, the bridge tender is also responsible for rail traffic safety.^[2]

Moveable bridges typically have a bridge tender's house,^[3] from which a bridge tender can observe traffic and operate the bridge, and may also be the employee's residence.
