LIFTING BRIDGE FOR HOUSEBOATS | LIFT SPAN BRIDGE | VERTICALLY MOVABLE BRIDGE

Hi friends, we been to Renmark,South Australia. Renmark is a town in South Australia's rural Riverland area, and is located 254 km northeast of Adelaide, on the banks of the River Murray. The Sturt Highway between Adelaide and Sydney runs through the town; Renmark is the last major town encountered in South Australia when driving this route. There are many attractive places to view. In this video we gonna share the Paringa Bridge. The Paringa Bridge carries the Sturt Highway across the Murray River in Paringa, South Australia. Until 1982, it also carried the Barmera railway line. The bridge consists of a vertical-lift span 78 feet (24 m) long which can rise 30 feet (9.1 m) in one and a half minutes. There are three Pratt truss spans of 112.5 feet (34.3 m), and a plate girder span at each end. It was designed by the South Australian Railways (SAR) and fabricated by Perry Engineering of Adelaide. It opened on 31 January 1927. It was built as a road-rail bridge with both the Sturt Highway and Barmera railway lines using the same reservation. Maintenance cost were shared equally between the SAR and Highways department. Subsequently, road lanes were added on either side to segregate the road and rail traffic. The last train crossed the bridge on 21 May 1982 with the line beyond Renmark formally closed on 7 March 1984. The railway tracks were removed in 1986 and the centre reservation converted to a shared pedestrian and cycle path. The vertical-lift span is opened twice a day for river traffic. The bridge was listed as a State Heritage Place on the South Australian Heritage Register on 29 June 1989. If anyone planning to visit Renmark SA, do not miss this bridge. Hope you like this video. Have a good day. #paringabridge #SouthAustralianHeritageRegister #renmark #roadrailbridge #southaustraliarailways #paringasouthaustralia
