Winterbrook Bridge

Winterbrook Bridge is a road bridge spanning the River Thames between Wallingford and Crowmarsh. It features three steel plate girders with a reinforced concrete deck that carries traffic across the water.

The bridge was constructed in 1993 as a modern crossing point. During construction, workers uncovered Bronze Age remains and traces of an ancient earthwork on the surrounding land.

The bridge stands as a testament to modern engineering while preserving important archaeological sites discovered during its construction in the Thames Valley.

The crossing forms part of the A4130 road and offers an alternative to nearby Wallingford Bridge for all traffic. Pedestrians and cyclists can use it, though they share the space with vehicles.

The bridge features glass fiber reinforced plastic cladding on its underside, an uncommon choice for Thames crossings. This protective covering helps preserve the steel structure underneath from weathering.
