Princess of Wales Bridge

The Princess of Wales Bridge is a road bridge that crosses the River Tees in Stockton-on-Tees and connects a business area to the town center. The structure carries a dual carriageway and allows traffic to flow between different parts of the town.

This bridge was opened in 1992 and named after the Princess of Wales. It was built to create an important transport link across the river for the growing town.

Two memorial plaques mounted on the bridge structure commemorate the legacy of Diana, Princess of Wales in the local community.

The bridge is easy to reach from the town center and provides clear access for vehicles between the two areas. Pedestrians and cyclists can also use it to cross the river safely.

The bridge structure incorporates four steel plate girders with composite concrete decking supported by steel H piles driven into sandstone bedrock.
