Hereford Road Skew Bridge, Railway arch bridge in Ledbury, England
The Hereford Road Skew Bridge features thirteen staggered overlapping ribs made of blue brick, creating a distinctive angle across the road beneath.
Built in 1881 for the Ledbury and Gloucester Railway, this structure remained operational until the railway line closure in 1959.
The bridge design represents nineteenth-century engineering methods, demonstrating the evolution of railway infrastructure during Britain's industrial development.
The structure now serves as part of the Ledbury Town Trail footpath, providing a pedestrian connection across Hereford Road.
The bridge crosses Hereford Road at a 45-degree angle, utilizing specialized construction techniques to distribute weight across its ribbed arch structure.
