The Chicago Department of Transportation opens these bridges twice a year: in the Spring to let the sailboats with the oversized masts out into Lake Michigan, and in the Fall to put the sailboats back into winter storage. On the bridges with heavy traffic, they have to send out workers to chase people off the bridge who insist on crossing it when the bells go off.

I wonder if drawbridges are the only road feature where mechanical bells are still currently manufactured for, since railways are phasing them out it seems

Most likely Western Cullen Hayes is the company that still produces them
