Does dragging your nation into a foreign war because you were jealous of your cousin's military successes count as "feathering your own nest?" 🤔
@Diogenese_Shiplap Sir, this is the longest truss bridge in North America, and second only to the Ikitsuki Bridge in Japan. It was designed by a great Norwegian, William A. Bugge, who also designed the Hood Canal Bridge and was the project director in charge of design and construction of the Bay Area Rapid Transit.
In fact, this bridge is historically and technologically significant for its overall length as well as its main span length. The design of the main spans are also unusual. In fact, this bridge's main spans are very misleading in appearance. Looking at the central/navigation span of the three main spans, towards the center of the bridge the repeating "V" pattern of the Warren truss is interrupted for one panel, and at this location, pins are visible. This is usually a dead giveaway for a cantilever truss bridge with a suspended span. And for this bridge, during construction, that is indeed how the bridge functioned, as a cantilever truss with cantilever arms holding this suspended span in the center. However, when erection was completed, this suspended span was riveted to the cantilever arm turning the pin-connected hanger system into rigid, riveted connections. This change resulted in the truss functioning as a continuous truss, rather than a cantilever truss. The suspended span no longer "hangs" from cantilever arms, it is instead from an engineering standpoint all part of the same truss in terms of force distribution. This differs from a traditional cantilever truss because in a traditional cantilever truss the suspended span is literally like a completely independent, separate truss bridge that is hanging from the cantilever arms.
