Berwick Bridge, Stone arch bridge in Berwick-upon-Tweed, England.
Berwick Bridge spans 355 meters across the River Tweed with fifteen arches constructed from red sandstone blocks quarried at Tweedmouth.
The construction of the bridge began in 1611 with 170 workers and concluded in 1624, making it the largest bridge built in Britain during the seventeenth century.
The bridge structure includes decorative Doric columns on the pedestrian refuges and a stepped string course that reflects the architectural preferences of the period.
The bridge measures 5 meters in width and features triangular cutwaters that serve as sheltered spaces for pedestrians crossing the structure.
Iron-shod wooden piles form the foundation of each pier, utilizing oak trees transported downriver from Chopwell Forest during construction.
