Franklin Wharf Bascule Bridge

This bascule bridge in Hobart, AUS is on Franklin Wharf. It allows rail, vehicle and pedestrian access to Constitution Dock. It was built in 1955 and has the same clearances as the tunnels elsewhere on the railway line. These are not sufficient for modern traffic, nor is the weight limit. To the rear is the Jessop & Appleby Steam Crane.
