Tule Lake Lift Span Bridge

The Tule Lake Lift Span Bridge spanned the main shipping channel in The Port of Corpus Christi, Corpus Christi, Texas. The 350 feet long by 48 feet wide Span which weighed over 1700 tons was floated out on a barge. The barge used was 270 feet long by 72 feet wide. The move required 1600 horse power tug boats to move the Span approximately 3 miles.

The towers were demolished using explosives demolition methods. Each Tower stood just under 200 feet in height. Each tower contained a 900 ton concrete and steel counterweight. The total weight of each tower was approximately 1600 tons.
