A movable railway bridge

address: Porto Baross
Period: Historicism
Kind: Immovable material heritage
Century: 19
Year: 1896
Purpose: for railway

One rarity is still preserved at Port Baross: a movable railway bridge over the Dead Canal. The bridge was built in 1896, and next to the bridge there is a small utilitarian object – an engine room which housed the machine that ran the bridge. The conservators appraise the bridge together with the accompanying object as protected cultural heritage in need of restoration, since it is the only surviving moveable bridge in this area.

Valorization:

Movable iron bridge is treated as protected cultural monument.
