Pathfinders Truss Design Wooden Swing Bridge

Crafts and Science

Our Swing bridge kit is based on the Newcastle-upon-Tyne swing bridge, which has an elegant arch design. Swing bridges are less commonly constructed now, but some new designs are very cool. While traditional swing bridges used a truss design, more often we now see swing bridges with the suspension design and a cantilevered style.


For ease of storage, the bridge ends can be removed easily and re-assembled again, since we use a simple, yet strong, slot construction Kit comes with instructions, all you need are some scissors. Comes with great educational information and links to learn more about levers and bridges. Easy to make in an hour or two, and has stickers for signs and the road.
