Английская Википедия:Fore River Bridge
The Fore River Bridge spans the Weymouth Fore River between Quincy and Weymouth, Massachusetts. The total length of the bridge including the approaches is Шаблон:Convert.
History
A bascule bridge was built in 1936, replacing an earlier span. The bascule bridge was demolished in 2004 as it was considered structurally deficient and unsafe.[1]
MassDOT erected a temporary vertical lift bridge in 2001–2003, rising to Шаблон:Convert.[2][3] The temporary bridge remained in place until the new bridge was completed in 2018. The replacement Fore River vertical lift bridge has an increased vertical clearance of Шаблон:Convert in the closed position and over Шаблон:Convert in the open position. This will help reduce the number of openings during the busy summer months. The navigable channel horizontal clearance increased the previous width of Шаблон:Convert to Шаблон:Convert and can now accommodate larger marine freighters providing better access to the Fore River’s Designated Port Area.
The Fore River Bridge was built at an approximate cost of $272 million and construction lasted 6 years with final completion in 2018. A portion of the temporary bridge was donated for use as a short bridge over a river in Perches, Haiti.[4]
