Bascule Bridge

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

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

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

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.

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?

[@jaredini]

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

[@SteveBull-tg8mi]

Awsome!

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.

[@mmq6525]

I'd clear it

[@iselaarchenti]

is that Jared Leto at 0:16?

[@HamedAdefuwa]

Incredible

[@red-sp9cv]

[@pathaze4299]
