Queen's Bridge, Road bridge in Belfast, Northern Ireland
The Queen's Bridge spans the River Lagan with five granite arches, each measuring 50 feet wide and rising 10 feet from the water level.
Built between 1840 and 1843 to replace the Long Bridge from 1682, the structure received its name during Queen Victoria's visit to Belfast in 1849.
The bridge features 16 ornate lamp posts displaying the Belfast Corporation coat of arms, representing the city's industrial and architectural heritage.
The bridge deck underwent expansion from its initial 30 feet to 62 feet in 1885 to accommodate increased traffic flow across the River Lagan.
The structure incorporates Newry granite in its construction and includes cantilevered segments that were added during the 19th-century widening project.
