As solid as the day it was built. Just because there is no paint doesn't make it in bad shape.

Neat shot! It does look sort of unmaintained without the paint, but otherwise appears in very good shape, as you already mentioned. Great shot! Seen on the homepage! :)

reportedly it was only turned once after it was built.

Interesting how railroads built these movable bridges over waterways that could not have handled craft large enough to require the structure to be turned, though maybe it was different then. Home page 02-12-2024
