The North Bourke lift bridge was opened in 1883 and was the last of this type to cease operation in 1997 when it was replaced by a concrete bridge a few metres downstream. The bridge has a 18.4m lift span supported by concrete filled cylinders and wooden decking.
The bridge has been closed to pedestrians since early August 2018 and is to undergo repairs in the near future and re-opened to foot traffic
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
