Description
Old, preserved and now disused Jervois Bridge gantry at Port Adelaide, South Australia. Openend in 1878, the bridge over the Port River was fabricated from iron components and featured a central ‘swing’ span mounted on a turntable that could be rotated 90 degrees to allow vessels to pass through the bridge. This operation was controlled from a wooden tower mounted on a steel gantry that crossed the bridge laterally along its central pier. The bridge was closed and replaced in 1966 with a concrete structure and the gantry which has been relocated nearby is now the only part that remains.
