Gloucester Draw (SUC) Bridges over Annisquam River in Gloucester, MA

1911: (Bridge Hunter) 

2022: (Bridge Hunter; Satellite)

Modjeski uses the term Strauss Underhung Bridge. I use the term that I see more often: Strauss Underneath Counterweight (SUC) Bridge.

The original bridge was built in 1911. The 2022 bridge cost $100m. [MBTA]

MBTA closed the old bridge in 2020 because of "unforeseen site conditions." This article lists other work that was done during the closure in addition to replacing the bridge.

These two photos taught me that the Strauss design that used a parallelogram of links has been abandoned. They now use the curved rack of the Chicago Style Trunnion Bridge.
