Swing Bridge

Based on the classic design at Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the UK, this elegant design has been used for hundreds years around the world. In fact Leonardo da Vinci invented a swing bridge in the 1400's! Swing bridges are still used widely around the world.

Using a wooden bevel gear, the bridge swings open and closed, just like a real swing bridge.
