Despite belief the Swing Bridge was the fourth bridge to be built spanning the Tyne by the River Tyne Commission in 1851, It was first used to road traffic in 15th June 1856 and then opened up to river traffic on 17th July 1856. It ceased operations to river traffic around December 1981 although the bridge still swings four times a week.
