Keadby Bridge, Railway bridge in Keadby with Althorpe, Great Britain.
Keadby Bridge is a railway and road bridge crossing the River Trent between Keadby with Althorpe and Gunness. The structure carries both train traffic and vehicles on its steel spans.
The Great Central Railway built this bridge from 1912 to 1916, replacing an earlier swing bridge from 1866. The new design reflected early 20th-century engineering advances.
The bridge received Grade II listed status for its engineering importance as one of the first Scherzer bridges built in Britain.
Pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers can cross this bridge to reach the other side of the Trent. Access is available from both riverbanks with pathways alongside the structure.
The bridge features a central section that opens electrically to allow river traffic to pass through. This moving mechanism was a notable engineering solution for its era in Britain.
