The Tocumwal Railway Bridge was built in 1895, with three spans, the centre span having an opening lift for navigation (allowing river boats to pass).Initially provided for road traffic only, it was strengthened for rail traffic in 1908, and used for both road and rail traffic until November 1987 when a new road bridge was opened.
By 1930, river traffic declined, the last lift (of it) for river traffic being in 1933 and in September 1977 the centre lift span was fixed in place
Visit Instructions:
1) After you've found a vertical lift bridge, go visit it, get the coordinates, a picture or two of it, and if it is in use or not still as a lift bridge.
Then log it and post your pictures! At least one of the photos must be of you and your GPS there with the bridge in the background. (No old vacation shots or photos off the internet!)
2) Include the coordinates, city/county/state/country and the name of the bridge (if it has one).
3) Include any interesting information about the structure
