Gregory Grice posted "CT-1 Crosses the Tomlinson Bridge" On the afternoon of August 4th, 2024, Providence & Worcester's "CT-1", led by a trio of GEs, crosses the Tomlinson Bridge on the Belle Dock Branch in New Haven, Connecticut. Photo Link: https://flic.kr/p/2qh9Vu7 |
It took over a half-decade to lay track along the east side of the river so that the bridge track could be used. 40% of the bridge cost was to make it strong enough to carry rail traffic, and that cost was $40m. [nhregister]
ebay "The original Tomlinson bascule-type drawbridge, along with central railroad tracks dating to 1917, had to be replaced after a runaway barge smashed into one of the old bridge's piers in 1995." [nhregister] |
Note in these photos that the center part of the span has no cables. It must be a suspended span so this bridge is also a cantilever bridge.
CDOT photo via asbi-assoc "With a span of 515 feet [157m], the main span unit of the new Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge (PHMB) is the first extradosed cable-stayed bridge constructed in the United States, fully utilizing extradosed pre-stressed cable-stayed technology....The new bridge replaces the previous 1958 structure that was designed for 40,000 vehicles per day; adding critical capacity to accommodate the more than 140,000 vehicles per day." It replaced a 6-lane bridge with 10 lanes and full shoulder widths. |
wsp The bridge opened Sep 19, 2015. |
aecom "The extradosed system is a hybrid design that is a marriage between a concrete cable stressed girder bridge and a cable stayed bridge. Extradosed type bridges have been successfully constructed in Europe and in the Far East, but the new Q-Bridge will be the first extradosed cable stayed bridge built in the U.S." |

It looks like a trunnion bascule bridge rather than a rolling bascule bridge.
