  • The Freshwater Trust Oregon Trout Portland Triathlon started in ideal conditions, under beautiful fall sunshine, on the Willamette River in downtown Portland.  23 August 2009.  The Freshwater Trust is a not-for-profit organization that works to preserve and restore freshwater ecosystems through water health and fish recovery, under the Clean Water & Endangered Species Acts.

  • FEC New River Bridge (1978) is a single-leaf bascule railroad bridge spanning the navigable New River in downtown Fort Lauderdale. The design type is a through plate girder bridge of total span 70 feet /21.3m, providing a horizontal boat navigable clearance of 60 feet/18.3m. Additionally, the bridge comprises three 25-foot approach spans, plus a 14-foot machinery room span, from the north; and two 25-foot spans from the south. Notable was the use of weathering steel to eliminate environmental concerns around initial and future painting. By 1985, the weathering steel had reportedly reached a stable condition for its environment. One of the design criteria for this bridge was to double-track the crossing, removing the bottleneck of a single track bridge at this location dating back to 1912. Now, in the 21st Century, as freight trains are once again sharing the tracks with passenger trains operated by Brightline, alternatives are being studied through the New River Crossing Feasibility Study to further expand capacity by tunnel and various fixed/movable bridge replacement options. Owner: Florida East Coast Railway Company (FEC). Engineer: Greiner Engineering Sciences Inc. General Contractor: Powell Brothers Inc. Broward County, Florida, USA.

  • Snow-Reed Bridge (1925) is the oldest bridge in Fort Lauderdale, and the last operational swing span bridge surviving in South Florida. In 1989, 64 years after construction, it was designated a historic landmark and renamed from the Southwest 11th Avenue Bridge to Snow-Reed Bridge, for the two mayors whose terms spanned its 1924-5 construction. The bridge spans the North Fork of the New River and was constructed on the north-south alignment of SW 11th Avenue, connecting the neighborhoods of Riverside and Sailboat Bend. The structure is a Warren Pony Swing Metal Truss – the Pony part being simply a through truss that lacks overhead cross-bracing between the top chords. Nice cantilevered sidewalks appear to have been added at some point. The bridge has no practical vertical clearance, while it obstructs a navigable river, so an on-site bridge operator is required 24/7. A one-year major renovation ending in 2010 added a new octagonal-shaped bridge tender control house while retaining and restoring the original bridge tender’s house. Notable also is this old bridge’s vulnerability to sea-level rise; its swing mechanics are set just inches above sea water tide levels, so the mechanics are repeatedly submerged in salt water. Broward County, Florida, USA.

Working in the pre-dawn darkness, I had to hold an umbrella with one hand while setting up tripod and camera with the other.

  • Burnside Bridge (1926) comprises a double-leaf bascule drawbridge main span, flanked by longer riveted double-intersection Warren deck truss approach spans. The bridge has long multi-beam steel deck girder approach spans bridging railroad tracks, freeways and city streets of downtown Portland, while the main span bridges a fetch of the Willamette River navigable to full-size commercial shipping. This bridge replaced the original 1894 wrought iron truss steam-powered swing-span bridge, two spans of which were repurposed as the current Bull Run River Bridge and Sandy River Bridge on Lusted Road, both in neighboring Clackamas County. Striking features of this bridge are its riveted double-intersection (lattice) Warren trusses featuring intermediate sub-verticals – an uncommon truss configuration, and its ornate bridge operator’s houses. The bridge was designed by Gustav Lindenthal and Joseph Strauss. Other notable features are its hidden below-deck counterweights, ornamental concrete balustrade railings, and fine metal railings on the lift spans. This bridge has great historical significance. Multnomah County, Oregon, USA.

This bridge replaced the original 1894 wrought iron truss steam-powered swing-span bridge, two spans of which were repurposed as the current Bull Run River Bridge and Sandy River Bridge on Lusted Road, both in neighboring Clackamas County. Striking features of this bridge are its riveted double-intersection (lattice) Warren trusses featuring intermediate sub-verticals – an uncommon truss configuration, and its ornate bridge operator’s houses. The bridge was designed by Gustav Lindenthal and Joseph Strauss. Other notable features are its hidden below-deck counterweights, ornamental concrete balustrade railings, and fine metal railings on the lift spans. This bridge has great historical significance. Multnomah County, Oregon, USA.
