Steel Bridge opening for Fleet Week 2019
Kiddo and I got to watch the Steel Bridge raise up to hits full height during Fleet Week 2019 in Portland. A double-action Vertical-Lift bridge that first retracts the Union Pacific section into the Highway section above.
Toward the end it's surprising to watch how the counterweight descends below the catenary lines that give power for the MAX Light Rail trains.

Interstate Bridge - Traffic Stop for a Quick Lift
zhlédnutí 133KPřed 3 lety
The Marquees and lights started changing right as I approached the bridge, and I wound up timing it just right to be first in line to wait for the bridge to open. I haven't seen many videos of the actual Traffic Stop process, so I thought it would be fun to share how the bridge sounds off some loud piercing sirens to alert traffic to the stop, followed by the only Red Light on I-5 between Mexic...

Somehow the lighting at this intersection is always spectacular at night.
MAX Turns around at 11th Ave Terminus

I saw a Green-Line MAX making its way down the Blue Line in Portland, and figured it was probably due to turn around and get back on course! Turns out there had been a brief power outage and the trains had to be re-routed. Was fun to watch the Trimet operator use their little utility broom handle to manually set the track switch.
A320 in a flat spin... somehow!

Hey Siri.. what's the proper Spin Recovery procedure for an Airbus A320 at 10,000 feet? Correction, 8000 feet! Honestly, I think half the fun of learning in a simulator is learning how to NOT do things... like why it's a bad idea to disable all of your onboard flight control safeties. Stress Damage mode was off... obviously... I think I pulled at least 4 g's pulling out of this dive!

Nintendo recently added the ability to wield a gigantic stamp-hammer, and I've concluded that I had to compile my clips and set them to the tune of Banks' Donkey Kong Classic remix :D I have been having way too much fun with this ^_^ #UltraStampMain

Making progress EVERY day! Redesigned the UI to allow for drag-stick controls anywhere there isn't already a button. Added in some more assets and now I just have to implement objectives and I'll be ready for Alpha testing and level design!

Bridges of Portland - Fleet Week with the kiddo
zhlédnutí 1,7KPřed 9 lety
Kids enjoying watching a trio of movable bridges of varying types lifting at once to let in a group of 3 ships at rush hour. The dad geeks out too ^_^ Includes Broadway, Steel, and Burnside bridges. We were located on the lower deck of the world's only double-action lift bridge, the Steel Bridge.
You supposed to keep recording until the lights turn green again
@@DestinyTheRealPurpleSparkle next time 😅
Why does the interstate bridge have a secondary gate chain that drops down when the bridge is about to lift. Those gate chains are connected to the hydraulic door
@@garbagemanbear406 did you see the part where the truck overran the barricade? It's actually more like a Railroad crossing arm. That chain net is what would actually stop a runaway vehicle from diving into the river.
Timestamp 0:19: That is my favorite part.
Hahaha yeah Rob made sure to clip that part in the intro to his video 😅
What type of bridge was it?
You can learn more about it on Wikipedia, article is just called Interstate Bridge
Traffic lights weren’t installed until at least 2005. Old photos of the bridge showed that it had black boxes that would activate “STOP” when drawbridge was active
Those STOP signs are still there today (though about a year ago someone hit and destroyed one of the 4 main ones). I don't remember when the lights went on, but I wanna say late 90s (about the same time the Hawthorne bridge in Portland switched it's STOP signs out for lights)
@@jordansean18 have they replaced the destroyed sign with a new signal. Can you get a video of the bridge now going north into Washington
Meanwhile in the ECAM : DIRECT LAW PROT LOST
Direct Law = Airshow mode 😁
@@jordansean18 lol 😂
ooh you can hear a model L going off
I don't know sirens, but it's a loud little guy about the size and shape of a fire truck siren
@@jordansean18 yeah, i saw it when i went downtown a week or so ago
That is The Brooklyn Subdivision mainline Between Portland and Eugene.
Right in the smack of the dab of Portland, by omsi
Yeah the semi truck would have been okay to keep going. The drawbridge operator would probably see he was on the bridge and not lower the gates at the far end of the bridge until he was clear of the bridge. Like others stated though, he may have been trying to stop anyway, and it takes longer to stop a semi truck than it does to stop a car.
phone looks kinda flat imo
It go splat
I think it is a pretty bridge but don't have a car so hope they do replace it and add a MAX extension
How much vehicles did this delay? I hope there is a large fee that boats have to pay to lift the bridge.
Wild!
Meanwhile I drop my phone 1.5 feet and the screen protector is cracked 5 different ways..
💀
That’s crazy cool
Very cool video. Loved the lift sequence. Those horns were fantastic!
What did I just watch?
Where is this bridge located?
Columbia river; between Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington
Great video and more
Howdy Sean, I was wondering if I could show your video for part of one I'm working on? (With credit / your permission) I'm putting together a video about the engineering behind the Interstate Bridge and the replacement that almost happened a decade ago. I actually hung out for an entire day in Vancouver hoping to film the lift, but no large ships came by. So I had to pack up without the shot. This video is, frankly, amazing. Anyway, if you're open to sharing -- that would be really cool. If not, it's all good. Cheers, Rob
Absolutely Rob; love your channel. Go right ahead! (Sorry for the shaky camera work haha)
Incidentally that's exactly why I wanted to start recording when I saw the bridge lift warning signs. I just don't see enough videos of the actual lift process, especially not from the driver's perspective.
@@jordansean18 AWESOME JordanSean! Thank you so much! (What name should I use for credit, e.g. "(Name) was driving on I-5 and saw the bridge lifting...."?)
@@RoadGuyRob you can just say "Sean Bates". This is not an anonymous account (though i don't have the name always rendering consistently. ) Thanks for asking!
Ah I miss this place. Too bad it's gone to hell since I moved
1:17 insert multiple crossing bells and one more long horn here
I think the bell was just the door chime on my car. I don't recall hearing any bells on this bridge, just the horn and sirens.. and maybe the beeps from the pedestrian gates
@@jordansean18reference to railroad crossing
Hoe nice thankyou so much for your time today 🍷
Simi truck take longer to stop than a regular cars i play ats from time to time I had no warning as open I had to slam on the brakes and ended up crashing head on into the bridge because around 70 plus my truck not start and it totaled my trailer that I was pulling
And this is after a steep downhill too, which is why they had lights and sirens ahead 😅
I5? I guess this is the bridge at Portland, on the border between Oregon and Washington, right? (Exit number 1, and the road number in a silhouette of George Washington's head are a bit of the hints). I guess that trucker thought he/she could make it.
Exactly right! Though in fairness to the trucker, this gate is at the bottom of a steep bump in the bridge
@@jordansean18Ah, I see... Hard for me to tell since I've never been there (in fact I've never been in the States at all. I'm Dutch, thus European, you know), so I gotta take your word for it, and I guess it's indeed pretty hard to get a truck to stop from the situation you describe.
Oh no the bridge is open! -Amtrak train
Haha yeah that happens some times. Union station is right on the other side of this bridge so they just sit there and chill if they need to wait
What a great bridge. Fascinating that it took those power rails down. Would love to be up close like that.
Wheres that?
Between Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington
@@jordansean18 Ok thanks!
I know it's shaky 😅 I just wanted to share what I could get since I'm never in the right place at the right time for this haha
Yo awesome video my man!
where is the horn located
The air sirens are located near all the highway warning signs, and the horns are near the motor houses on each of the two lift spans (I think? Might be on the control booth between the spans)
Apparently this video was made by attaching your phone to a jackhammer attached to a paint shaker during an earthquake.
Lol yup. Makes for an easy tripod to carry in the car!
I'm dizzy trying to watch it
Seeing those lights in the tower and the blinking red lights make me think about wanting to go to CBS Television City in Hollywood, California for my 50th birthday; giggle!🤭🎂
📺When one of the passengers exclaimed "Don't run the barricade, you dork!" It sounded like he was quoting a line from a science fiction TV show or movie, giggle!🤭
When I get a car again, I want to stop at those lift- and drawbridges again, so that I can put my car in park, and long-kiss my sweet bonbon; while he's hanging on to me; giggle!!🤭
NEVER GiVE UP 🎶
You gotta learn how to take better video dude
Me and my mom have crossed that bridge several timex on the way to Washington for doctors appointments,never actually seen it opening though,interesting!
czcams.com/video/ymLY-19cZo0/video.html This is how we do it in the Netherlands on roads whitout variable message signs
But why did you call the driver a dork?
Thank god that “dork” backed up!

What do I do: one passenger said
whats that very loud horn sound i
Air siren is to alert highway drivers, and the horn is blasted as a signal that the bridge is opening so the boats don't sleep on it 😅
Who constructs a lift bridge for a superhighway? 🤔
They converted the old highway into an interstate back in the 50s
That's nice you don't have to wait and get stuck again.
4 days after a Christmas Day in 2020.
That boat’s blowing its horn like a train passing a railroad crossing.
I think it's mostly just the bridge operators that blow the horns around here. This bridge has a bunch of horns and sirens all over 😅
@@jordansean18 I think it's both the bridge and vessels, they do that on a lift bridge in Duluth, MN. I believe it's tradition to do this as the bridge tender knows well in advance that the vessel is coming.
no that horn is on the bridge bridges have horns
