The Long Drax swing bridge was a swing bridge on the River Ouse near Barmby on the Marsh and Drax, built in the 1880s for the Hull and Barnsley Railway . The bridge was dismantled in the late 1970s.
The bridge was built as part of the construction of the Hull and Barnsley Railway ; it consisted of three spans; two 81 ft bowstring lattice girder approach spans, and a central swinging span of 248 ft also of lattice girder design, with a central operating cabin at the swing bridge centre located above the track. The riverside foundations were masonry whilst the inner approach span foundations were each of four piers, and the swing span centre foundations of a square of nine piers. The weight of the iron in the superstructure of the bridge was 648 long tons .
