The Alloa Swing Bridge was a railway bridge that stretched across the River Forth in Scotland. It connected Throsk and Alloa. It was built in 1885 as part of the Alloa Railway. The swing bridge was used for passenger and freight services for around 100 years. Twice in the early 1900's, the bridge was closed after storm damage. It was reopened after. The Bridge was closed to passenger services in 1968 and shortly after freight in 1970. The bridge was demolished in 1971 after the remaining part of the line ceased to exist.It was located next to the Kincardine Bridge and up until the start of the construction of the new road bridge, the stumps were visible. There were a whole line of them above the surface.
