More work to be done…sides etc to make it look like plate girder…then painting Critter inspection.
Grand-daughter testing…light weight…SS hinges and screws, otherwise PVC boards.
Folded Away.
Nice idea… looks like it is nice and sturdy
From one lift bridge owner to another, what did you do to keep the track aligned at the lift up side?
Victor, there’s a PVC key and slot that hold the bridge in alignment…and the track is tacked in place as well. Pictures show it well.

I did something similar for West Es-cap-e, however I also use Hillman’s Bridge Clamps. I don’t use it often, but my track can still be powered. Edit to add photo. You can almost see it at the right end of the bridge…
