The east and west spans of Bridge 6 of the Welland Canal in Thorold, Ontario are Scherzer rolling bascule-type lift bridges which are undergoing a major rehabilitation program. .
This photo shows testing of the newly replaced tread and track plates which are the surfaces on which the moveable span rolls on to open and close the bridge. .
The tread and track plates are required to be accurately aligned to ensure the bridge span rolls smoothly and seats accurately which is particularly important on these bridges which carry railways tracks across the canal.
Justin Patrick: Its also a repair only being done at night. They have to give the bridge back to CN by 0500 daily and they get it back for work by 1900h at night
