Queensferry Bridge
From Graces Guide
A double leaf Scherzer rolling bascule bridge which spans the River Dee at Queensferry, Wales.
Opened in 1926 as a replacement for the earlier bridge, also known as the Jubilee Bridge (Queensferry), which was designed by Mott, Hay and Anderson[1][2]. Also known as the Blue Bridge. Constructed by Sir William Arrol and Co.
By the 1960s shipping had ceased on the River Dee. The bridge's motors were removed and the roadway fixed permanently in place. A bypass was constructed with a new bridge which took the main traffic[3]
