Wow!!! That has got to be the goofiest bridge I've ever seen.(1) Way cool. I
guess it was cheaper than building a lift bridge or a bridge that had long
approaches and crossed at the height of the conveyor platform upper carriage?
Thanks for sharing that. It WOULD be an amazing model.
1 - previous contenders were canal barge bridges built in the early 1800s
and the Millenium Bridge that rolls sideways. Both from the UK...
coincidence? I think not.
