Wasauksing Swing Bridge, Timber and steel swing bridge in Parry Sound, Canada.

The Wasauksing Swing Bridge spans the South Channel of Georgian Bay, connecting Rose Point on the mainland to Parry Island.

Built in 1912 to replace an earlier structure from 1887, the bridge initially served railway traffic before being modified for vehicles after rail service ended in 1989.

The bridge functions as the primary connection between the Wasauksing First Nation community and the mainland, supporting daily interactions and community access.

The bridge operates on a seasonal schedule from April to November, with specific opening times for water vessels and a 5 km/h speed limit for passing boats.

The structure combines traditional timber construction with a steel truss swing mechanism, maintained through collaboration between the Canadian government and Wasauksing First Nation.
