Union Bridge, Road bridge in Aberdeen, United Kingdom

Union Bridge spans 130 feet across the Denburn Valley with a single granite arch, connecting Union Street to the central areas of Aberdeen.

The bridge construction started in 1801 under Charles Abercrombie's plans to create a new entrance into Aberdeen from the south and west regions.

The bridge features decorative cast iron leopards along its balustrade, manufactured by William Wilson and installed during the 1910 restoration project.

The structure underwent modifications in 1908 when steel side spans were added to support wider pavements and improve pedestrian circulation.

Union Bridge stands as the largest single-span granite bridge in the world, measuring 40 meters in length across its central arch.
