One of the first bridge projects we will highlight here was of course the restoration of our turntable bridge which has been well documented here. This restoration featured the use of an innovative approach by the Western Mechanical firm to move the completed bridge into position. In the pictures above, we again view their use of a "linear crane" to lift and move our 76 ton turntable bridge into position without the use of traditional crane technology.

This is the tale of the first bridge!
