I regularly this combination Vertical Lift and Truss Bridge on my way home from Maitland. I really love these old bridges.
Extract taken from the bridge website: (
visit link)
'Completed in 1901, Hinton Bridge is an Allan timber truss road bridge, and has a lift span which in the past accomodated river steamers that travelled the Hunter River system. Hinton is one of only three lift bridges in the Hunter region. Most of its engineering details are intact, and the bridge is in good condition.'
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
