Sale Swing Bridge
Sale Swing Bridge, Iron truss bridge in Sale, Australia.
The Sale Swing Bridge extends 45.6 meters across the Latrobe River at its junction with the Thomson River in Victoria.
Constructed in 1883 by John Grainger, this bridge replaced a wooden structure to allow vessels access to the Port of Sale.
Engineers Australia recognizes the Sale Swing Bridge as an Engineering Heritage National Landmark for its technical innovation in Australian bridge construction.
The bridge opens every Saturday and Sunday between 3 PM and 4 PM, and on the second Wednesday monthly from 11 AM to noon.
The bridge mechanism uses a trailer-mounted hydraulic power unit to rotate 90 degrees, allowing river traffic to pass through the waterway.
