Part of the old bridge is still being used at brighton speedway to cross over the creek to and from the pits

excellent video ! today's bridge was slid into place in 1990. it was constructed beside the old metal bridge, which was eventually removed and the new one slid over (slide took just a few hours) so as to minimize disruption to downtown businesses. this was the first slide of a bridge of this scale in north america. this is why the concrete supports are double the width of the bridge.

Shout out Joe soreino who swung the bridge for years. And played some great poker games in that little shack that sat on top. Little known history on the swing Bridge for yall.
