  • Awesome! Is the rotating part entirely on that far shore?

  • Again, this is for dad to answer

    — Margaret Hovell

  • yes - the base is on what looks to be a filled in part of the far shore. As Catherine's email sent separately says - this is a controversial and unconventionally designed bridge. The next bridge up - the movable section is on this side. So a ship has to zig zag up the waterway.

  • Yikes, that seems like poor planning.
