These are notes that I am writing to help me learn our industrial history. They are my best understanding, but that does not mean they are a correct understanding.

Diagonal Bascule Bridge or "tail bridge"
Note that about a third of the bridge is used for a bike lane.

"The bridge is raised and lowered around 10 times a day."
Note it uses a couple of hydraulic rams rather than the traditional gear and rack design.
