Who can pass up a rainbow? The blue tangle of girders on the left is the Johnson Street Bridge, the first bridge over the Gorge as it leaves the Inner Harbour. It is a double span bridge, one span for the E & N Railway, cyclists and pedestrians and the other for cars. Both spans can be raised for ships with high masts. It was built in 1924 and is a bridge of the Bascule type. The photo below shows the large counterweights that enable the spans to be raised easily and are characteristic of this type of bridge.
I just saw the kid with the gun, in your profile photo.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure someone not as shallow as me, would have something profound to say about it.
I just thought it was funny!
Great capture. That sure is an interesting looking bridge.
ReplyDeleteNice to have that pedestrian there, rehearsed and posed just so. Cue the rainbow - quiet everybody!
