Unfortunately, I don't know. But I can offer an interesting video from the repair of this bridge, which was made from May 2018 to May 2020. A truly unique technology was used to replace the original bridge structure with a new one: https://www.youtube.co​m/watch?v=RtbuokVaA68.

Thank you for the video! I do not have time to watch it now, but I did save it for later!!

I just watched the video. That was fascinating!! Wow I never knew it was possible to build a bridge in sections like that. What was so very interesting was to see one section of the bridge being rotated 180 degrees on the length of it. What was on the bottom is now on top, and they did that for all three sections of the bridge!!

Thank you for sharing this video!!!

That is so cool. What a feat of engineering. I wish I could understand how it all holds together. I nearly choked on my coffee when I saw the top part of the flipped span run along the railway line! (That's what it looked like anyway). Thanks for posting this.

Apparently this road is no longer used at all. Is the road blocked at either end so people can't use it?

Is there an intersecting road where you are standing?

Yes I was also very surprised to see the road being flipped along the railway line!

Just watched the video. Very cool, and nicely done. Thank you for sharing.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
From everything that man erects and builds in his urge for living nothing is in my eyes better and more valuable than bridges. They are more important than houses, more sacred than shrines. Belonging to everyone and being equal to everyone, useful, always built with a sense, on the spot where most human needs are crossing, they are more durable than other buildings and they do not serve for anything secret or bad. -Ivo Andric, novelist, Nobel laureate (9 Oct 1892-1975)

Even before man built bridges, insects and other things that emerged from the oceans or swamps were building bridges to cross obstacles. I am not sure if monkeys constructed bridges. Most people use them everyday and take them for granted paying very little attention to them.

Nice picture GlimmerMan. Thanks. Have you got anymore pictures of it?

Hey, G'day Ray. Just a pull back with a glimpse through the foliage, for scale.
Also put one the Reflections thread: https://photography-on-the.net …showthread.php?​p=19136451
Wish I had a weekend to hike the gorge and take the bridge tour (under the bridge on the catwalks). The structure and setting is breathtaking. The span (c~1977) saves us drivers 40 minutes of switchbacks.

Thank you GlimmerMan. That is a really nice B/W picture. A sort of casual glimpse through the forest. I feel I am almost there looking through the trees.
