Whitchurch Bridge, Road bridge in Pangbourne, England
The Whitchurch Bridge spans 82 meters across the River Thames, connecting Pangbourne in Berkshire with Whitchurch-on-Thames in Oxfordshire through the B471 road.
The first crossing at this location dates back to 1792, when local residents replaced an existing ferry service with a timber bridge spanning the Thames.
The Grade II listed structure represents a testament to private infrastructure management in England, as one of only two remaining toll bridges across the Thames.
Vehicles under 3.5 tonnes pay £0.60 for crossing, while heavier vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes are charged £4, with free passage for pedestrians and cyclists.
The bridge underwent complete reconstruction in 2013-2014 while maintaining its original white-painted appearance and incorporating lattice iron girders from the 1902 structure.
