When the hridgeis open, not only do the interlockedsignals at the hridge indicate stop, butthe automatic block signals to which theyare connected give a distinct indication to span at the south end of the bridge toaccommodate the existing roadway andadmit running of a possible railway trackalong the south canal bank.
