Albert Bridge, Road bridge in Windsor and Datchet, England.
Description
Albert Bridge is a road bridge that spans the River Thames between Windsor and Datchet, carrying the B3021 road across the water. The structure connects two communities and serves as a key crossing point for vehicles and pedestrians between Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.
History
The current brick structure was built in 1927 and replaced an original cast-iron bridge from 1851 that had developed structural problems. The older bridge suffered major damage in 1914 and was no longer safe for regular traffic.
Culture
The bridge forms part of the Thames Path network, allowing pedestrians to cross the river and access the historic grounds near Windsor Castle.
Practical
The bridge is accessible as a public road and can be crossed on foot or by vehicle. Both sides of the Thames offer access points for different types of traffic.
Did you know?
The original bridge had an unusual construction where each side was made from different materials. One half was wooden while the other was iron due to disagreements between county authorities.
