The Century-Old Mechanics of Connecticut’s Mystic River Bascule Bridge #mysticct #bridge #engineering #history Connecticut’s Mystic River Bascule Bridge has anchored the river crossing since 1922. Built to lift rather than rotate, its bascule design—named for the French word meaning seesaw—uses twin 230-ton concrete masses to counterbalance more than six hundred tons of steel. It still opens roughly two thousand times a year, a century-old machine in everyday use. | Call Cress

The Granite Avenue bascule bridge in Dorchester crosses the Neponset River between Dorchester and Milton, allowing marine traffic to pass. The current bascule bridge is the successor to several earlier bridges, with construction beginning in 1914 and a history dating back to at least 1837. The bridge is an important part of the local landscape and is visible in many historic photographs and contemporary images of the area. #followerseveryonehighlightssfypシ゚viral | Endlessjoy Nwanagaga

Happy 100th Birthday to the Bascule Bridge in Renfrew. The well-loved local landmark is celebrating its centenary year. It officially opened in 1923 and the Scherzer style rolling lift bridge is one of just two of its type across the country. ‘Bascule’ is French for seesaw and the bridge provides a roadway while opening to allow a ship to pass when needed. It used to cost two shillings and sixpence for vessels to pass under the bridge, paid both inwards and outwards. Reaching almost 120 feet sky

The NX Bridge, popularly known as Annie's Bridge, over the Passaic River between Newark and East Newark New Jersey. The Strauss Heel Trunnion Bascule Bridge was built in 1922 for the Newark Branch of the Erie Railroad. It is abandoned and in the up position. The name comes from the 1982 movie "Annie" where the orphan protagonist climbs the bridge at the end. Seen from the new East Newark Riverfront Park. | Metrotrails
