Transporter Bridges
Transporter Bridges are a legacy of the closing years of the 19th century and the early years of the 20th, and served a brief but important need. Just nine still stand in their original form and currently only five are currently still in use - one each in Spain and Germany, two in the UK, one in Argentina - unused since the 1960s, and only recently returned to service in 2018 after restoration - and the last surviving 'pont transbordeur' in France returned to service in 2019 after major works. The huge increase in road transport, however, quickly rendered them obsolete, and although many were planned, little more than twenty-one were ever completed across the world - five of which were in Britain.
The second of Germany's surviving transporters is currently awaiting repair after a ship collided with it.But is the transporter bridge about to undergo a surprising renaissance?
