Keadby Bridge, Railway bridge in Keadby with Althorpe, Great Britain.
The Keadby Bridge spans across the River Trent with a total length of 548 feet, featuring three main spans and two approach spans.
The Great Central Railway constructed this bridge between 1912 and 1916 to replace an older swing bridge from 1866 that served the South Yorkshire Railway.
The bridge received Grade II listed status for its engineering importance as one of the first Scherzer bridges built in Britain.
The structure combines both railway and road traffic functions, connecting the communities of Keadby with Althorpe and Gunness across the River Trent.
The bridge incorporated a 50-metre electrically powered bascule span, which was the largest of its type in Europe when constructed.
