Summary

[edit]
Description

This bridge set is no longer operational because the engine [or electric motor] has been removed. Its purpose was to allow water based traffic to access the Royal Canal. It could open, allow a vessel through, and close again in less than five minutes. However, I do not know how long how long it takes to pass through the canal locks.

This pair of Scherzer bridges were constructed to a design patented by William Scherzer of Chicago which swiftly proliferated throughout the world. This design was the most common type of movable bridge for their speed and minimal energy needed for operation. With a matching pair a short distance to the west, these bascule bridges exhibit a rugged industrial beauty that greatly complements the docklands' industrial past.
