Old Palace Bridge

The Old Palace Bridge was a bridge across the Bay of Trynser City. The bridge, in addition to being a crossing point for the bay, was a commercial center with shops and other building piled high atop it. The bridge cut off major shipping traffic to the city's harbors, so a broad double-sided drawbridge was present, and regular hours were posted for shipping traffic and bridge traffic. The hours were as such: 
Bridge 5-7AM; Ship: 7-9AM; B: 9-11AM; S: 11AM-1PM; B: 1-3PM; S: 3-5PM; B: 5-9PM; S: 9-11PM; B: 11PM-1AM
The bridge was closed from 1 to 5 AM, and neither traffic or shipping could cross, which is when maintenance was performed. The drawbridge may have been opened at any time which important Imperial government or naval shipping had to cross. Lighters that were able to pass under the bridge's roadway arches may have passed through at any time. Likewise, there was a foot path along the bridge's bastille arches over the drawbridge where one may pass if desperate enough to climb the steps in the towers.
The buildings atop the bridge included:
* The Bridge Master's House, where the mechanism to raise and lower the draw bridge was located, and a toll house for bridge traffic was collected.
* Old Palace Bridge Hotel
* Old Palace Bridge Public Bank
* A jewelry shop
* Another jewlery shop
* maybe a couple of other things
The bridge was administratively considered a part of Old Palace Ward. 
The bridge toll was the greater of:
* 10 cr per person or
* 20 cr per animal
These prices were steep, and often worthwhile for travelers to go by boat or another bridge. But it connected two important districts and traffic was usually congested.
