The Century-Old Mechanics of Connecticut’s Mystic River Bascule Bridge #mysticct #bridge #engineering #history Connecticut’s Mystic River Bascule Bridge has anchored the river crossing since 1922. Built to lift rather than rotate, its bascule design—named for the French word meaning seesaw—uses twin 230-ton concrete masses to counterbalance more than six hundred tons of steel. It still opens roughly two thousand times a year, a century-old machine in everyday use. | Call Cress

More of the mechanics of the Mystic River drawbridge. There’s a large “Bull wheel” and spur gear that makes the bridge pivot on some very large pillow block bearing. Two counterweights weighing 1,140,000 pounds attached to the top of the bridge help to counterbalance the bridge as it’s being raised and lowered. It’s an amazing piece of American engineering and bridge history and even more fun to watch it in action! #abom79 #mysticdrawbridge #drawbridge #bridge #engineering #mystic #mysticconnect

The NX Bridge, popularly known as Annie's Bridge, over the Passaic River between Newark and East Newark New Jersey. The Strauss Heel Trunnion Bascule Bridge was built in 1922 for the Newark Branch of the Erie Railroad. It is abandoned and in the up position. The name comes from the 1982 movie "Annie" where the orphan protagonist climbs the bridge at the end. Seen from the new East Newark Riverfront Park. | Metrotrails

Fall in Mystic Connecticut Last fall the @whalersinnmystic invited me for a fall weekend to capture what autumn is like in Mystic. Let’s just say we had an amazing time and packed so much fall goodness into a weekend. Friday: Drive to Mystic stopping at B.F. Clyde’s Cider Mill for a cider donut, cider slushy and some photo ops. @clydescidermill -Head to the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center. 10 miles of trails to see the foliage. @dpnaturectr -Check into the Whaler’s Inn. You are literally steps
