This photo is over a couple of decades old. It looks like today's bridge replaced a trunnion bridge. I wonder how often the old bridge stopped traffic on I-95.

| Gregg Welliver posted, cropped Jacksonville, Florida back in the day, new bridge construction over the St.Johns river@ I-95 looking south, that’s quite a Boom Party going on with The American crane out in front. This is a picture taken from the Facebook Jacksonville history page. Looks like a drawbridge on 95 years ago. |

| roadtraffic-technology The new bridge is 1.4 mile (2.25km) long. "The main span over the shipping channel is 250ft [76m] with a vertical clearance of 75ft. [23m]" "The haunched pier segments transition from 120ft [3m] deep at the piers to 80ft [2m] deep at the ends." [I think the units should have been inches instead of feet for the depth of the girders.] |
It looks like the traffic was stopped for a sailboat.

Was the fixed spans of the old bridge a continuous or cantilever design?
