Two spans down

Best viewed large. Our new bridge and the old one in the process of being dismantled, at this stage with two of the spans removed - interestingly they are removed intact by bringing a barge beneath them at low tide, then floating them away to shore when the barge lifts with the tide.

HFF and best wishes for a safe and enjoyable weekend, everyone.

Interesting (and clever) system taking advantage of the tide, George. I wonder if there is a reason why they are kept intact ...

HFF!

You have an excellent record of this area, from the start of the new bridge to its completion and the dismantling of the old bridge.

Interesting evolution! I wonder wether the removed spans have any chance of being installed somewhere else. HFF, George!

Great photo but I still think it's too bad that they are taking down the old bridge.

Gute Idee, die Kräfte der Natur zu nutzen. Schade, dass die alte Brücke entfernt wird, aber vermutlich braucht man mehr Höhe für größere Schiffe.
HFF und ein schönes Wochenende, George!
