General / Bridges / Lighting and Other Signals
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA-OAKLAND INNER HARBOR-FRUITVALE AVE RAIL BRIDGE-The lift span of the rail bridge is kept in the partially opened position providing 80 feet of vertical clearance at mean high water. The lift span can be raised to its fully open position upon request to the drawtender at the Miller Sweeny (Fruitvale Ave) bridge. The following is the new navigation lighting configuration at the rail bridge. 1. When the bascule span of the highway bridge is in the closed-to-navigation position and the lift span of the railroad bridge is in the partially open position, providing 80 feet of vertical clearance at mean high water, the lift span center channel navigation lights will show a red 180-degree center span light on the upstream and downstream lower edge of the span. 2. When the bascule span of the highway bridge is in the fully opened position and the lift span of the railroad bridge is in the partially opened position, providing 80 feet of vertical clearance at mean high water, the lift span center channel navigation lights will show one solid 360-degree green light and one flashing 360-green light on the upstream and downstream lower edge of the span, providing a range for the centerline of the channel between both highway and railroad bridges. 3. When the bascule span of the highway bridge is in the fully opened position and the lift span of the railroad bridge is in the fully opened position, providing 135 feet of vertical clearance at mean high water, the lift span center channel navigation lights will show two solid 360-degree green lights on the upstream and downstream lower edge of the span, providing a range for the centerline of the channel between both highway and railroad bridges.
