| Jamestown Line Bridge - Builder and construction date unknown. Although the design is found on multiple bridges in Ontario, outside of Ontario the design of these bridges would be classified as extremely unusual and rare. Two elements make the design unusual. First, the truss configuration is a subdivided double-intersection Warren. This means that in addition to a vertical member between each "X" of diagonal members, there is also a vertical member that passes right through the center of each "X." Double-intersection Warrens are uncommon, but subdivided double-intersection Warren truss bridges are very unusual. Thanks to Historic Bridges for the above information |

...you can find many bridges of this style around here too!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely bridge with a lot of information about the construction. Had to ask hubby what an intersection is, but now I understand :) (Thanks for the funny images in your comments, I like them!)
ReplyDeleteA lot of information Andy. I also see that the height is now given in m and not in feet anymore.
ReplyDeleteIn Canada the metric system is alive and well.
DeleteI love these kind of bridges. There was one near my grandparents' house when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely old bridge!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of some bridges I've seen in this area.
ReplyDeleteWell now, that is something I never would have noticed on my own. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe info we learn on our friend's blogs! Thanks Andy!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful bridge and I really appreciated your commentary. The wooden boards look a bit worn, though, and might need to be replaced. The overall, it looks quite sturdy and safe.
ReplyDeleteA very cool old bridge! I'm hoping this is a one-way only road. It would be tough to have to back up if traffic was coming the other direction!
ReplyDeletethat is a neat old bridge, nicely captured!
ReplyDeleteI like this shot. A great bridge....we had one like it in a neighboring community. Torn down after so many years of use.
ReplyDeleteNice shot - and thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to pay more attention to the old wrought iron bridges I see!
ReplyDeleteI think it's beautiful and so is the scenery.
ReplyDeleteNice colors in the scene and I like the rust!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! How I would love to drive over that wooden bridge. The sound takes me back to my childhood and sadly many of Australia's wooden bridges have been replaced.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo!
