Vauxhall Bridge, Steel bridge in central London, England
The 270-meter-long Vauxhall Bridge spans the River Thames with five arches, connecting Westminster on the north bank to Lambeth on the south bank.
The current structure, designed by Alexander Binnie and Maurice Fitzmaurice, replaced an earlier iron bridge from 1816 and officially opened to traffic in May 1906.
Eight bronze statues mounted on the bridge piers represent different aspects of society, including Agriculture, Architecture, Engineering, and Fine Arts, created by sculptors Alfred Drury and Frederick Pomeroy.
The bridge accommodates four lanes of vehicular traffic, pedestrian walkways on both sides, and forms part of London's Cycle Superhighway network crossing the Thames.
The Russian language adopted the word 'vokzal' meaning railway station from Vauxhall, as Russian visitors frequently arrived at the nearby Vauxhall station during the 19th century.
