The Hale Bridge

The Hale Bridge

The Hale Bridge

(OP)
I was surfing the channels and stopped at "H2", a channel that concerns itself with the work and beliefs of Ancient Alien Theorists. Usually I stop for amusement, but they were showing the moving of the Hale Bridge. It was described as being a bowstring pony truss, although the bowstring is a tied arch. The three span bridge was moved from one location to another.

I couldn't find much of a video, just this two and a half minutes.

There are some good photos here, including some details.

They appear to have added some lateral bracing between the top chords at the outriggers.
