"swing bridge"? -or hybrid?

[edit]

The vast majority of the bridge was a trestle bridge, not a swing bridge; out of its 865m length, the swinging section was just 44m long or roughly 5% of its length. Consequently it makes more sense to me to describe the bridge as a "trestle-swing bridge hybrid" or a "trestle bridge with a swing-bridge section". Any other opinions?
