Beginning in 2012, Scott Bridge Company executed and performed multiple contracts for the ongoing rehabilitation of two 100-year-old Strauss Heel Trunnion railroad bridges. Several of these contracts were done on an emergency basis when the bascule was stuck in the down position, blocking the navigational channel for commercial barge shipments as well as larger pleasure vessels. The work performed on the FECR bridge included replacing all components of the span drive system including the operating strut rack gears, gear carriages, and second link pins.
