Leamington Lift Bridge
The Leamington Lift Bridge is a lift bridge that crosses the Union Canal near its terminus at Lochrin Basin in Edinburgh.
==History==
The bridge was installed around 1906 where Fountainbridge crossed the canal replacing a previous bridge built in 1869.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Edinburgh, Union Canal, Fountainbridge Lifting Bridge )〕 When the canal was shortened in 1922 to make Lochrin Basin the terminus it was moved to its present site to replace a wooden drawbridge.〔 It fell out of use by the 1960s, but as part of the Millennium Link project to restore the Union Canal, it required to be restored at least to allow boats to pass.〔 A report published in the year 2000 had suggested fixing it permanently open, but the decision was taken to restore it to full working order.
The restoration involved removing the deck and the top member of the bridge to access the inner workings.〔 It opened for the first time on 16 May 2002, followed by an official opening ceremony on 24 May.〔
