Bridge: (no Historic Bridges; Satellite)
It is clearly a rolling bridge.
This is Lock #2 of the Welland Canal.

[Michel Demers commented on another post of this docked barge: "A car fell in the lock and close by, a ship ran aground 3 days ago. No signs of pulling it back in the seaway."] |

I don't understand why water is coming over the top of the gates in the above photo. That means the water level of the canal is really high. But this satellite image shows that the lock not only has a bypass channel, but it also has gates to regulate the amount of water that is bypassed.

Judging by the hydraulic jump, this gate has a leak underwater that is worse than the one we see above water.

| Bruce Jackson posted WISH YOU WERE HERE Lock 2 on the Welland Canal in 2005. The ship in the lock was the Canadian Leader, scrapped in Port Colborne in 2010. This was before fencing and you could really get up close to the ships and water. Danny-Sharon Mitchell: When we were kids we hung around Lock 2 all the time. You could get close enough to touch the ships as they went in and out of the locks. Watched a lot of submarine races where this picture was taken. |
