Bascule Bridge Selected for Elizabeth River Spanning
The Board of Freeholders chose a Strouse bascule design for a Firat street bridge over the Elizabeth River at a $25,000 cost. The Schwerner rolling lift was the alternative, like the Central Railroad bridge at Tremsey Point. The lift bridge may be hand or electric powered, but electric operation will wait due to cost. The Strauss Company of Chicago supplies the bascule system, and final approval rests with the U S Government before construction begins in a few weeks.
