They say that you can’t turn back, but you can if you have a camera and save your photographs. Here are two time-lapse images of traffic heading onto the old Johnson Street bridge in Victoria.
This was the third of the four bridges that have spanned the narrows between Victoria’s Inner Harbour and Upper Harbour, connecting Johnson Street on the east shore with Esquimalt Road on the west shore.
Completed in 1924, it was built as two adjacent, independent heel-trunnion bascule bridges. It became known as the “Blue Bridge” or “Old Blue” after it was painted light blue following corrosion repairs in the late 1970s.
