(Bridge Hunter, Historic Bridges, 3D Satellite)
I wonder if this was the last heel-trunnion bridge ever built because it was built in 1956 when the river was widened. I noticed that Bridge Hunter and Historic Bridges disagreed on the length of the span. Then I noticed that Bridge Hunter's span length was longer than the total length. So the Historic Bridges number, 231', is the correct length.
It's nice seeing a photo of a partially open bridge because it makes it easier to figure out how the linkages work.
This shows the linkages in the closed position.
Until 1956, this location had a Scherzer Rolling bridge like Bridge #464. Below, #463 is in the foreground and #464 is to the left of the left smokestack.
The rolling bridge was based on the bank opposite of the trunnion bridge.
