Bridge tender
A bridge tender, also known as a bridge keeper, 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.
