Gatehampton Railway Bridge, Railway bridge in Basildon, England
The Gatehampton Railway Bridge spans across the River Thames with four semi-elliptical arches, constructed using red brick in English bond pattern with stone dressings.
The western section of the bridge was designed by engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel and constructed between 1838 and 1840 as part of the Great Western Railway line.
The Grade II listed structure represents the engineering capabilities of Victorian Britain and stands as a testament to early railway infrastructure development.
The bridge carries the Great Western Main Line over the River Thames between the stations of Goring and Streatley and Pangbourne, serving numerous daily train connections.
The bridge incorporates internal longitudinal walls and voids within its structure, an innovative engineering technique that reduced material usage and construction costs.
