Dean Bridge, Stone arch bridge in Edinburgh, United Kingdom.
The Dean Bridge extends 136 meters across the Water of Leith, featuring four symmetrical arches that rise 32 meters above the river level.
Thomas Telford designed this bridge as one of his final projects, completing the construction in 1831 during Edinburgh's period of northern expansion.
The bridge stands as a Category A listed structure, representing the engineering capabilities of Scottish construction during the Industrial Revolution period.
The structure carries the A90 road between Edinburgh's West End and northwestern suburbs, accommodating both vehicle traffic and pedestrian pathways.
The bridge incorporates hollow piers in its construction, an innovative design element that reduced material costs while enabling internal inspections.
