Newport Arch, Roman arch in Lincoln, England
The Newport Arch features a central passage measuring 34 feet in depth and 17.5 feet in width, constructed with large limestone blocks.
Built in the 2nd century AD, the arch served as the north gate of Lindum Colonia, connecting the Roman settlement to Ermine Street towards York.
The structure represents Roman engineering techniques with its deep vehicular passage and remaining inner portal reaching 22.5 feet above the original Roman ground level.
Modern vehicles pass through the arch daily, though height restrictions apply due to multiple incidents involving trucks colliding with the structure.
Newport Arch stands as the sole Roman gateway in Britain that continues to accommodate regular vehicle traffic in the 21st century.
