The new footbridge to the Fortezza Vecchia is working. Here you can see it from the Porta del Duca toward the Scalo Regio: I have just crossed it and the bridge is now opening to let a boat pass.

Looks like the gate opens and closes automatically as boats approach the footbridge?
ReplyDeleteI can imagine that bridge becoming a well used one!
ReplyDeleteI tried to figure out which parts move and where they go when a boat passes, but I failed!
ReplyDeleteRevrunner - There is an operator and a schedule.
ReplyDeleteJack - The central part of the footbridge is sliding toward us: you can see the different levels of the flooring.
Great!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful and useful structure !
ReplyDeleteLooks like a very nice structure.
ReplyDeleteI like it. I can see the opening. I thought it would rise, but it must slide together. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks for explaining in the comments how the bridge opens and closes.
ReplyDeleteTout vient à point à qui sait attendre...
ReplyDeleteIt's nice and wide for a footbridge.
ReplyDeleteIt must be fascinating to watch!
ReplyDeleteI love how that works! Would love to stand and watch the bridge and the boats.
