Constantius Bridge, Road bridge in Northumberland, England.
The Constantius Bridge extends across the River Tyne with three concrete spans and accommodates four traffic lanes for vehicles traveling along the A69 route.
Constructed in 1976 as part of the Hexham bypass project, the bridge replaced the previous A69 thoroughfare that ran through the center of Hexham.
The bridge received its name from Constantius Chlorus, a Roman Emperor who influenced British history during the expansion of the Roman Empire.
National Highways maintains this crossing, which serves as the last bridge before the River Tyne splits into its North and South branches.
During construction in August 1975, severe flooding caused the collapse of scaffolding and shuttering at the western span of the bridge structure.
