A little more progress this week. I was able to get the trackwork done plus a bit of scenery added. I left about an inch and a half of track to the bridge approach free to move. There's enough play in it so that if there is any movement in the swinging section, I can compensate for any misalignment. I have enough room to slide the rail joiners clear, and I made this tool, (thanks to Woodone for his suggestion, it works just great 
) that makes it easy to move the rail joiners. So far, I'm happy with the results.
Here's the overall progress so far:
