What is the longest swing bridge in US?

AnswerChoate Bridge - Constructed in 1764, it is the oldest documented bridge in Massachusetts and the second oldest documented bridge in the United States. State Route 1A (South Main Street) over the Ipswich River in Ipswich, Massachusetts. Too much disagreement on which bridge is actually THE OLDEST bridge in US. According to Wikipedia encyclopedia, the Frankford Avenue Bridge in Philadelphia is the oldest (see: http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankford_Avenue_Bridge). According to this article, the bridge was built in 1697 or 1698. It is also known as the Pennypack Creek Bridge, the Holmesburg Bridge, and the King's Highway Bridge (probably it's original name).*Actually this answer is false. The oldest bridge in the US is the old stone arch bridge next to the jewel mill (glen mill) in Rowley, MA. Built in 1643 and is still in use today.
