Albert Bridge, Belfast, Road bridge in central Belfast, Northern Ireland
The Albert Bridge features three flat arches spanning the River Lagan, constructed with granite stonework and decorative cast iron components manufactured in Derby.
Following a fatal collapse of two arches in 1886, city surveyor J C Bretland designed a new structure that opened to the public in September 1890.
The bridge received its name from Prince Albert Victor, grandson of Queen Victoria, who laid the foundation stone during construction in 1889.
The structure carries four traffic lanes of the A20 road with pedestrian walkways on both sides, connecting East Bridge Street to Albertbridge Road.
The original bridge at this location earned the name Halfpenny Bridge due to the toll charged until Belfast Corporation abolished it in 1860.
