There used to be a cantilevered swing bridge on US 17/92 over the St Johns river between Sanford and Debary. Fortunately it was moved to the boat launch nearby and given a historical plaque.
@woodencoasterfan I remember that one as well! The sharp northbound curve that led to its approach and the draw not having a metal grate like virtually all the others at that point... missed getting my camera to that one by just months. For those out there who are curious, the referenced Sanford bridge was built in 1932 and was the last Swing Bridge (a Warren-through truss) and I believe Southernmost Drawbridge over the St. John's River... :)

Sacramento, CA's Double Deck Swing Bridge uses the same horn that bridge has. Cool!
