I forgot about the Northway bridge (though I did not include non-driving lanes for any others).That said, the CSX bridge and Berkshire connector bridge are tall enough to handle the tallest ships that sail anywhere on the Hudson. Though if the same were built in the NYC area, it might be impossible to get to the ground in Manhattan from them :). For railroads though we could have something like the Victoria Bridge in Montreal; two adjacent 2 track lift or swing bridges. When a ship needs to cross, one pair of tracks will be out of commission while the ship enters a waiting area between the two. The first bridge goes down, and the second goes up, and the ship continues. Trains can be routed to whichever bridge is down. It is important not to count on there ever being 4 tracks available, so the rail line leading to the bridge should only have 2. |
