Hulme Arch Bridge, Road bridge in Hulme district, Manchester, England.
Hulme Arch Bridge is a road bridge in Manchester that carries Stretford Road across Princess Road in the Hulme district. The structure displays a contemporary steel design with a pronounced arch and cables supporting the bridge deck.
The bridge was completed in 1997 and restored the link of Stretford Road, which had been severed when Princess Road was built in 1969. This reconnection was important for the areas that the new road had separated.
The bridge design by Chris Wilkinson represents modern engineering methods with its parabolic arch and interlocking cable stays configuration.
The bridge is open to vehicle traffic and pedestrians and provides a direct route between the districts. Access is straightforward and the structure is designed for daily use without restrictions.
The structure was assembled from six prefabricated steel box sections that form the arch together. This prefabrication method allowed for faster and more efficient construction on site.
