Bascule Bridge

Rare behind the scene view of Renfrew’s iconic bascule bridge one of only 2 in the world still operating.

Nice video.
That's England, manually opened road gates.
We got a railroad bridge like that being in Germany for repairs. Documenting its arrival and installation is a wish.

Awsome!

[@johnk963]

There are bascule bridges operating all over the world. What about this one in particular is rare?

[@jaredini]

Two in Hull still running. There were four but two were removed

Absolutely superb! How often does this happen, and is there any way of finding out in advance so that I could come and see it?

[@HamedAdefuwa]

Incredible

[@mickricereto8012]

Splendid Scherzer bascule! Location?

[@lottomillionaire5772]

It’s in Refrew, Scotland. Called White Cart Bridge

[@amandasmith3303]

So you have one operating it in the control room and one keeping an eye at road level?That would make me feel better crossing a bridge if I knew it was a two or more man operation.

[@iselaarchenti]

is that Jared Leto at 0:16?

[@red-sp9cv]

is this a hydrolic brige?

[@pathaze4299]

What hydraulic bridge uses giant gears like that bro?

[@mmq6525]

I'd clear it
