This is a fixed span which replaced a swing bridge in 1939, which made this the Head of Navigation on the Wolf River, allowing the Rail Swing Bridges at New London and Shiocton to become fixed spans. Looking northeast.

CN - Wolf River Lift Bridge

Status: Open to traffic
Swing mechanism was no longer operative. Since the Wolf River at this point is federally designated as Navigable Waters, it was converted to a vertical lift bridge. The project was finished in the Autumn of 2011.

Carries Canadian National Railway over Wolf River
Design: girder/pony/plate
Design Details: The Gills Landing Bridge consisted of a single track, 160-foot plate-girder swing span that rotated on a circular pivot pier. The swing span was completed in 1894. The pier is protected upstream and downstream by timber frame protection piers. When in its closed position, the span rests on rest piers at each end of the span. The span is reached by two long approach trestles from either shore of the river. In 2011, the broken swing mechanism was removed and a steel tower was erected on the center pier, housing vertical lift machinery. This is likely the ONLY vertical-lift bridge in the world with a CENTER lift tower.
Total Length: 0.0 Feet
Span Length: 160.0 Feet

Overview: Pony/through plate girder bridge over Wolf River on Canadian National Railway
History: Several track upgrades have been completed since the bridge was erected in 1894. Major upgrades to the hydraulic swing machinery were completed in 1987.
Built: 1894
