Poole harbour second crossing

poole

Poole Harbour Second Crossing is configured as a simple bascule - a flat deck with two hydraulically operated lifting sections. The joint between each is skewed across the deck creating two triangular leaves, crossing as they rise and come to rest in an overlapping composition, mirroring the shape of racing yachts passing through the bridge in this international sailing centre.
