Plus Scotswood and the Tunnels but yes, High Level is approaching end of life and will probably be converted to cycle/pedestrian to protect it.
Swing Bridge is fine in terms of traffic but the mechanism and the 'docking' that it's on (which is unused) is damaged and may require a closure for repairs at some point.
