Torry Island Swing Bridge, Swing bridge near Belle Glade, Florida, United States.
The Torry Island Swing Bridge crosses the Lake Okeechobee Rim Canal with a single traffic lane regulated by lights on both sides of the structure.
Built in 1935, this bridge incorporates steel components from the original Roosevelt Bridge, which served from 1916 until 1934 in another location.
The bridge connects to Torry Island, the sole inhabited island in Lake Okeechobee, where Slim's Fish Camp maintains operations since the Great Depression.
Vehicles reach Torry Island Campground through this bridge, while boats request passage at Slim's Fish Camp for the manual swing operation.
This structure remains the only bridge in Florida that operates through a manual crank system, maintaining its original mechanical design from 1935.
