Transporter Bridges
Transporter bridges are unique structures designed to carry vehicles and pedestrians across bodies of water or obstacles without the need for a traditional bridge. They consist of a suspended platform that is moved back and forth on a set of cables or tracks, allowing transport across a span while minimizing the impact on navigation below.
These bridges are particularly useful in locations where building a conventional bridge is impractical due to height restrictions or water traffic. Notable examples include the Tees Transporter Bridge in England and the Pont Transbordeur in France, showcasing innovative engineering solutions.
