Swing Bridge - Keeseville, New York - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

Built in 1888, one of a small number of suspension footbridges built by the Berlin Iron Bridge Company of East Berlin, Connecticut, a firm known primarily for its patented lenticular truss. Berlin Iron furnished the labor, the lattice-braced steel towers, the five-strand steel wire cables, suspenders, and the floor system for a contract price of $3,500.

One of a group of three bridges in this village collectively designated a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers. All three are individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
