The movable span is 310 feet (94 m) long [23] [24] and 92 feet (28 m) wide. [23] The side spans between the movable span and the approach viaducts are each 195 feet (59 m) long. The total length of the bridge is 700 feet (213 m). [24] The towers are 210 feet (64 m) above mean high water.
Madison Street Bridge, a bascule bridge over the Chicago River in Chicago, IL The Rode Brug (Red Bridge) across the Vecht river in Utrecht, Netherlands The Marine Parkway–Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge in New York City. A moveable bridge, or movable bridge, is a bridge that moves to allow passage for boats [1] or barges. [2]
When extended, it resembles a conventional steel and timber footbridge, and is 12 metres long. To retract the bridge, the hydraulic pistons are activated and the bridge curls up until its two ends join, to form an octagonal shape measuring one half of the waterway's width at that point.
The moving bridge had two bascule leaves, each 48 feet (15 m) long that were connected by a 69 feet (21 m) long deck-girder approach, for a total overall length of 372 feet (113 m). [6] The girders were 40 feet (12 m) in width; which were wider than the 37.5 feet (11.4 m) bascules. [6]
It's called Peak Walk at the Glacier 3,000 Resort in the Swiss Alps, and it's the world's first suspension bridge to ever 31 inches wide. 9,800 feet up. That's a bridge
The bridge may be stiffened by the addition of cables that do not bear the primary structural or live loads and so may be relatively light. These also add stability in wind. An example is the 220-meter-long (720 ft) bridge across the river Drac at Lac de Monteynard-Avignonet: this bridge has stabilizing cables below and to the side of the deck.
The tunnel is 76 feet (23 m) wide, 58 feet (18 m) high, and 540 feet (160 m) long. [15] It is the largest diameter transportation bore tunnel in the world. [ 22 ] The large amount of material that was excavated in boring the tunnel was used for a portion of the landfill over the shoals lying adjacent to Yerba Buena Island to its north, a ...
The weight of the bridge is about 70 short tons (64 t). One end of the bridge is 9.85 m (32.3 ft) higher than the other end. The bridge sags by 17 m (56 ft) in relation to an imaginary straight line between the two ends, and the sagging can increase by about 1 metre (3.28 ft) depending on the load and the temperature.
