Viaduct Harbour Rolling Lift Bridge

The Cleveland Bridge and Engineering Company in Darlington, England built this counter-weighted rolling lift bridge in kit form in 1931. It carried both rail and road traffic and was lifted to allow fishing boats into the basin. See the interpretation panel for how it worked.
Nearby you will find KZ1 New Zealand, an enormous sloop built for what proved to be a farcical America's Cup challenge defended by Dennis Conner in a catamaran.
