About
Most bridges which open have a simple means of opening by lifting - but these ones are special- they roll open. They are really quite simple. The idea apparently was first tried in Illinois in 1909. it is believed that the Dublin bridges were constructed in 1911, one spanning over the Royal Canal, and the other at the entrance to Georges dock.
