Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Barton road bridge. The swinging of the road bridge is a simpler operation, as it does not involve restraining any water. It is left until the last minute, so as to minimise inconvenience to road users. That would have been very different 112 years ago when it first opened when the road bridge would have been swung first (possibly left virtually permanently open) allowing maximum use of both canals.
Now, level-crossing type barriers with wig-wags are lowered before the bridge is swung. The two canal bridgekeepers are now on the centre of the road bridge (see their high-visibility jackets) whilst the operation is controlled from the bridge tower. Next photo 532790 |
