"Model of the swing bridge: on one side a concrete abutment provides two crossing units, and the narrowing of the road for a one-way passage of 3 meters; on the other, a 28-metre metal beam, mounted on a central pivot, rests on a base of 10 reinforced concrete piles. The rotation of the bridge, operated manually, requires the presence of two people. The deck of the bridge is made of elm wood planks."

"Modèle du pont tournant : d’un côté une culée en béton assure deux unités de croisement, et le rétrécissement de la route pour un passage à sens unique de 3 mètres ; de l’autre, une poutre métallique de 28 mètres, montée sur un pivot central, repose sur un socle de 10 pieux en béton armé. La rotation du pont, actionnée manuellement, exige la présence de deux personnes. Le tablier du pont est fait en madriers de bois d'ormes. "
