Mythe Bridge, Cast iron bridge in Tewkesbury, England
The Mythe Bridge stretches 170 feet across the River Severn with six cast iron ribs and X-shaped bracing that form its structural foundation.
Engineer Thomas Telford completed this single-arch bridge in 1826 to replace two ferries that previously served as the only river crossing points.
The bridge structure represents a significant milestone in British engineering, demonstrating the technical capabilities of early 19th-century iron construction methods.
Traffic flows in a single file across the bridge, regulated by traffic lights at both ends to maintain safe passage for vehicles.
The stone abutments contain integrated tunnels specifically designed to manage water flow during periods of flooding along the River Severn.
