Warrington Transporter Bridge
Warrington Transporter Bridge, Steel transporter bridge in Warrington, England.
The Warrington Transporter Bridge spans the River Mersey with a steel structure measuring 339 feet in length and rising 76 feet above the water level.
William Henry Hunter designed this industrial bridge in 1913, and Sir William Arrol & Co completed its construction in 1916 for Joseph Crosfield and Sons chemical works.
The bridge represents a prime example of early 20th-century industrial engineering and holds both Grade II* listed building and Scheduled Monument status.
The Friends of Warrington Transporter Bridge organization works to secure funding for restoration and maintenance of this currently non-operational structure.
This bridge carried rail vehicles until 1940, when modifications allowed it to transport road vehicles with loads up to 30 tons across the Mersey.
