Chiswick Bridge, Grade II listed arch bridge in West London, England
The reinforced concrete bridge extends 185 meters across the River Thames, connecting the boroughs of Hounslow and Richmond upon Thames.
The bridge, designed by architect Sir Herbert Baker and engineer Alfred Dryland, opened on July 3, 1933, replacing a centuries-old ferry service.
The structure marks the finish line of the Championship Course, where the annual Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race reaches its conclusion.
The bridge carries approximately 39,710 vehicles daily on the A316 road, providing a critical transport link between Chiswick and Mortlake.
The bridge's construction required 3,400 tons of Portland stone facing and represented the longest concrete span over the Thames at its completion.
