9. Stage 2-June 2020 Lift Up Bridge Finished; Stage 2 is Complete

With the completion of the lift up bridge and the baseboards around Coleus Corner and Across the Yard; Stage 2 is now complete.

The bridge was the final part to be completed the arch is made from aluminium angle filled in with a plastic lattice cut from the bottom of old bread delivery crates that I found at a local recycle centre.
The cross braces that join the 2 track decks are made from aluminum 'U' channel with a flat bar down the centre..

The bridge only opens to slightly over 90 degrees I made it that way so that a person has to hold it open to pass through then they will close it. This stops it from being left open by accident.

The non hinged end track is located by "Hillmans" lift out bridge clamps when it is closed.
