Is the railroad portion of this bridge just a single track wide? JNW2 (talk) 03:58, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some history

You may find what the Interstate Commerce Commission had to write in the late 1910s useful: Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains/ICC valuations/Proprietors of Portsmouth Bridge --NE2 04:46, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So... How does the new bridge work?

The old bridge is described as having a lift portion for highway traffic, and some (not quite completely described) retractable span for rail.

However, the new bridge appears to similarly have a lower deck for rail and an upper deck for highway traffic, but the lift span appears to be single-level, so how does this bridge operate?72.43.88.221 (talk) 11:24, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the forum to ask general questions about the operation of the bridge- however, to answer you, this article states " The result is a dual-purpose single 300-foot (91 m) lift span[24] with an integrated set of rails, which lowers to railroad level when rail traffic must cross." 331dot (talk) 12:17, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
