Torry Island Swing Bridge, Swing road bridge near Belle Glade, Florida, United States

The Torry Island Swing Bridge spans the Lake Okeechobee Rim Canal, connecting the mainland to Torry Island with a single traffic lane. Both sides of the structure feature traffic lights to control vehicle passage across the waterway.

The bridge was built in 1935 using steel components from the original Roosevelt Bridge, which operated from 1916 to 1934 at another location. This recycling of materials represented practical engineering during the Depression era.

The bridge connects to Torry Island, the sole inhabited island in Lake Okeechobee, where Slim's Fish Camp maintains operations since the Great Depression.

Drivers must watch for traffic lights on both sides and proceed carefully across the span. When boats need to pass, the bridge rotates, so expect delays during swing operations.

The swing span is a recycled structure: it served on the original Roosevelt Bridge in Stuart from 1916 to 1934 before being moved here. The bridge's first tender was Slim Corbin, an Alabama migrant who worked on the Herbert Hoover Dike during the Depression and then founded Slim's Fish Camp, whose staff still open the span on request.
