Photo[edit]

There might not really be space for it at the moment, but this image is an aerial photo of the bridge and aqueduct. Nev1 (talk) 22:05, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. Sure there is! It'd be better if it were in focus, though. - Denimadept (talk) 22:37, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Looks as though it has been taken from Google Earth. Bridgeplayer (talk) 22:46, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe someone near there can get a better shot. - Denimadept (talk) 23:37, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have to go to Evans' at the Ski centre tomorrow and get a new inner tube. I'll take my camera with me, hopefully the light will be ok. Parrot of Doom 23:41, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm, the overgrowth along the canal banks prevents any decent pictures. All I could manage are these two - [1] Parrot of Doom 12:35, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly, the photo taken from the roadway looks well worth including. Bridgeplayer (talk) 16:09, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Handyside[edit]

Well I never. That lot rebuilt Outwood Viaduct. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find they also built this structure. Parrot of Doom 21:02, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure that you are right; however I can't reliably source it from the web so we will have to hope that someone has it in a book. Bridgeplayer (talk) 23:56, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Its probably stamped on the bridge somewhere. I'll have a look the next time I'm cycling over it. Parrot of Doom 00:26, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hosed down in hot weather[edit]

I have moved the following here:

During particularly hot temperatures the bridge tends to close because of the risk of warping the structure because of the heat expansion from heavy loads crossing it. The bridge can continue to operate as a foot bridge, whilst the structure is usually hosed with water by the Greater Manchester Fire Service to prevent permanent damage.

because I have been unable to source it. the nearest I can find to a source is here but that is not a reliable source and doesn't say quite the same thing. Bridgeplayer (talk) 23:21, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds very unlikely to me. I've never heard of this, and just imagine the amounts of water required. I call shenannigans. Parrot of Doom 23:27, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
