Spit Bridge, Bascule bridge in Mosman, Australia
The Spit Bridge spans across Middle Harbour, connecting the suburbs of Mosman and Seaforth through four traffic lanes and two pedestrian walkways.
In 1924, a wooden structure preceded the current steel and concrete bridge, which was constructed by Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company in 1958.
The bridge forms a central element of Sydney's northern transport corridor, linking the central business district with the residential communities of the Northern Beaches.
The bridge operates on a schedule to lift its central span, creating an 80-foot wide channel that allows boats with tall masts to pass underneath.
Each fixed span incorporates four welded plate girders as main support members, while concrete piles driven into harbor bed sand secure the Mosman end.
