Coldstream Bridge, Stone arch bridge at Coldstream and Cornhill-on-Tweed, United Kingdom
The seven-arched Coldstream Bridge spans 59 feet across the River Tweed with sandstone blocks, connecting Scotland and England at the border regions.
John Smeaton designed and supervised the construction of Coldstream Bridge from 1763 to 1767, with Robert Reid as the resident engineer at a cost of £6000.
The northern toll house earned recognition as the Marriage House, where English couples traveled to marry under Scottish laws until toll collection ended in 1826.
The bridge underwent major renovations in 1960-1961 to widen the roadway and strengthen the structure, adding cantilevered footways for increased traffic capacity.
A downstream weir called The Cauld has protected the bridge foundations from erosion since 1785, with additional concrete reinforcement added in 1922.
