Wandsworth Bridge, Steel cantilever road bridge in Wandsworth, England
The Wandsworth Bridge extends 200 meters across the Thames River, connecting the districts of Wandsworth with Hammersmith and Fulham in London.
Constructed during 1937-1940 as a replacement for an 1873 toll bridge, the current structure opened on September 25, 1940 amid World War II.
The bridge maintains its original blue paint scheme from World War II, when it received this color treatment to reduce visibility during air raids.
More than 50,000 vehicles cross this steel structure daily, making it one of London's primary transportation routes between southern and central districts.
The bridge features a utilitarian design that prioritizes function over decoration, constructed with materials selected for cost efficiency during wartime restrictions.
