Somerleyton Swing Bridge

Somerleyton Swing Bridge is a railway swing bridge over the River Waveney on the Norfolk-Suffolk border.

Somerleyton Swing Bridge

It was built in 1905 to carry the double tracked Norwich to Lowestoft Line over the river, replacing a previous single tracked bridge. [1]

It is named after the nearby Suffolk village of Somerleyton. It is one of only four remaining railway swing bridges over the Norfolk Broads.
