Surtees Bridge

Surtees Bridge is a road bridge crossing the River Tees and connecting both sides of Stockton-on-Tees with multiple traffic lanes. Its steel and concrete structure carries vehicles across the river in a single span.

This bridge opened in 2007 and became a key part of local transport links. It replaced earlier crossing methods and improved connections across the river for the town.

The bridge represents modern British engineering practices and stands as a symbol of regional connectivity in the Stockton-on-Tees transportation network.

The bridge is accessible from both sides of the river and carries heavy traffic during peak hours. Drivers should expect congestion, especially in the morning and afternoon.

The bridge structure incorporates specific design elements that allow it to handle high traffic volumes while maintaining stability during peak usage periods.
