Hopefully the Sheerness branch line will never close but even if it does the four post lifting bridge may likely be kept for emergency use, such as when the new crossing is closed due to high winds

The small bridge was demolished soon after the new one was built i belive one man died in the constrution of the new bridge but i am not 100% sure it may have been on the old one when it was demolished the 4 poster is going to be kepted as it is needed for the trains ( god forbid if they close the railway down then there would be no need for them to keep it.)There are only 2 lifting bridges in the world that look like this type ) i do not know where the other one is prehaps someone else knows where it is and may be have some photos of it from Tom In Derbyshire
