Benjamin Bridge is a green suspension bridge at the end of the harbour who loves to watch everything that goes on.
Bio
Even though he can not move, Benjamin has had some exciting moments, like Tex nearly crashing into him and Queen Stephanie getting stuck under him. He is a very good friend with the tugboats and loves to socialize. He is, however, sometimes grumpy and was portrayed as a bully in the episode Theodore and the Big Harbour. He also has a snoring problem, which sometimes keeps Rebecca awake at night.[1]
Persona
Benjamin enjoys telling jokes, riddles, and rumours, which can cause a lot of confusion. Besides spreading rumours, he has a bad habit of snoring very loudly.
Basis
His design is based on the Angus L. Macdonald Bridge, the first of two built to connect Halifax and Dartmouth.
