Hawarden swing rail bridge 1889 and Grade II listed. The last time it swung was 1960, unlike the rest of the '60's

On one bridge looking towards a much older one. There are a few of these, built on the stone abutments built by the railway company. I assume that the original bridges went for scrap when the line was lifted. Why build them as S-bends though. Surely a straight bridge would be cheaper to make and no issue when meeting other cyclists.

Looks nice and a little unusual? Or possibly looked nice on a drawing made by someone who doesn't ride a bike...

It'll be something to do with making them look 'more organic' and not as manmade I reckon. Painting the railings red somewhat spoils the effect however.... . Still a cracking bridge and cycle way though.
