Skansen Bridge, also known as Skansen jernbanebro, spans 52 meters and is a bascule railway bridge located at Skansen in Trondheim, Norway. Designed by renowned structural engineer Joseph Strauss, famous for his work on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, this single-leaf iron truss railway bridge features an overhead counterweight mechanism to provide clearance for boat traffic. The innovative design includes a counterweight suspended in a parallelogram, along with motors and gears to facilitate the lifting and lowering of the bridge's end.
