Portal bracing details. Note chisel marks on the nearby pin nut. This is from when the bridge was relocated: the workers would have hit the nut to get it to turn. It also looks like someone broke apart the portal bracing to access the nuts.

Welds on inside of new end post.
Lacing bars welded to new end post.
