The Lewes Swing Bridge is an historic hand-cranked swing bridge in Lewes, Delaware, United States, that crossed the Lewes - Rehoboth Canal. It was built for railroad traffic. It was originally constructed in 1916. The piers on which the bridge was built had started to settle, and so the bridge was re-located a short distance away for display and educational purposes. The re=location happened in February 2022. As of July 2022, removal of the piers on which the bridge rested was still in progress.
