Road cycling

Acton Swing Bridge spans 272 feet (83.5 m) across the River Weaver. Opened in 1933, the bridge carries the A49 over the river. Today's bridge replaced an older stone bridge at a cost of £52,000. The first bridge dated back to 1751. The iconic steel bridge was based on designs created in 1893 by John Arthur Saner.
