Palm Beach County, Florida Bridges: Linton Blvd. Bridge across the Intracoastal Waterway (2)

December 2012 (26.4397 Degrees, -80.0650 Degrees) Linton Blvd. Bridge

Another photo of the Linton Blvd. Bridge. I wonder why the approach spans are precast girders while the end spans are steel girders? It must somehow be more convenient for the bascule span to lock-up against steel girders. Note how the end spans are made up of many girders while each bascule leaf is made up of two very deep girders and a lot of cross-bracing.
