Jim,
That Lenticular truss bridge is definitely an interesting bridge ! Unfortunately, the lower half of the structure would block the waterway ( I have to leave an 8' above mean high water clearance, to match the railway bridge ). But for that, I could use a much simpler form of walkway. I will have to see if I can create a place for that one somewhere.
It's the Corinth Road bridge, at Hadley, Saratoga County, New York, about 40 miles North of Albany. ( I did a search on "Lenticular truss bridge" ) ( I also consulted my Multiple Application Positioning Systems.....MAPS
) There are a couple, slightly different, spanning the Housatonic River in Connecticut.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
