Staines Railway Bridge, Railway bridge in Staines-upon-Thames, United Kingdom.
The Staines Railway Bridge extends across the River Thames with three spans and six piers, supporting the Waterloo to Reading railway line.
This cast iron and wrought iron bridge, designed by John Gardner, opened in 1856 as part of the Staines, Wokingham and Woking railway project.
The bridge represents Victorian engineering principles and remains a central element in the Thames Valley transportation network connecting multiple communities.
Located 17 miles west of central London, the bridge provides a clearance of 6.4 meters below and measures 85.24 meters in total length.
In 1995, the bridge received a bright yellow paint coating at a cost of £15,000 to prevent swans from colliding with the structure.
