Description

A new vertical-lift span in the process of being installed, in place of a bascule-type draw span (already removed by the date of this photo), on the railroad line along the Galveston Causeway, in Texas. The abutments of the old bascule bridge had not yet been removed when the photo was taken.
Photographer's caption on Flickr (2012): This new lift bridge was very recently put into place to replace the bascule bridge. The existing channel was dangerously narrow and the Coast Guard had ordered it widened. The old causeway structure between the two towers will be removed.

Aggregate Technologies, Inc., a Houston company, is using wire-sawing technology to cut apart remaining sections of the old bridge.
