New Richmond Swing Bridge, Steel swing bridge in Allegan County, US.

The New Richmond Swing Bridge spans 422 feet across the Kalamazoo River with four main sections, including an 89-foot pivoting Warren pony truss span.

Built in 1879 by Milwaukee Bridge & Iron Company, this metal structure replaced a wooden drawbridge that had served the area since 1842.

The bridge received recognition from the American Society of Civil Engineers in 2010 as a Michigan Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.

The structure now functions as a pedestrian walkway connecting parks on both sides of the Kalamazoo River after its closure to vehicles in 1997.

The swing mechanism of the bridge remains functional upon request, maintaining its original engineering capability from the nineteenth century.
