Swing Bridge Facts
The Swing Bridge is a swing bridge over the River Tyne, England, connecting Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead, and lies between the Tyne Bridge and the High Level Bridge.
The Swing Bridge was built by the River Tyne Commission. Work on the bridge began in 1873 and it was designed and constructed by Sir W.G. Armstrong and Company Limited of Elswick.
In 1972 the bridge was operated using a three shift system by a team of 15 men under the control of the Master of the Bridge. It could swing 12 times in one day at that time, each swing taking 6 minutes.
