Talk:Moveable bridge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, thought I start the discussion page in listing two more moveable bridge types, Folding bridge and Retractable bridge.

And there is a real funny bridge...imagine a suspension bridge and pull the pylon tops apart to raise the middle bridge part into an arch form. It does really exist. -- Klaus with K 17:59, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Image! Article! Another taxonomy item! (What is its type name?) Leonard G. 01:24, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

No idea about a type name, but here are a couple of references. -- Klaus with K 10:29, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

BTW, I redirected movable to moveable (bridge).

[edit] Rolling = Pegasus?

In the list of bridge types, the one for Rolling Bridge goes directly (not as a redirect) to Pegasus Bridge, whose text describes it as a bascule, not rolling. Is this correct? --StarChaser Tyger 08:58, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

I have changed the description of rolling bridge to reflect the type exemplified by the Pegasus bridge. This type does not remain horizontal as previously described, and "curling" is more descriptive of the other type sometimes described as "rolling". - Leonard G. 20:35, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

I would like to add another bridge to the truss lift bridge page. The lift bridge located in Peoria, IL., over the Illinois River. It is a railroad bridge currently in use by the Tazewell & Peoria Railroad, formerly used by the Peoria & Pekin Union Railroad.
