Horns Bridge, Railway bridge in Chesterfield, England.

The bridge extends 210 meters in length and rises 19 meters high, featuring seven brick arches and four lattice deck girders across multiple transportation routes.

The railway bridge opened in February 1897, replacing an 1840 brick arch structure, and continued operations until its closure to traffic in March 1957.

The modern sculpture 'Growth' on the traffic island at Horns Bridge represents the industrial legacy and future development of Chesterfield.

The structure crosses the Chesterfield Loop, Midland Main Line, A61 road, A617 road, River Rother, and River Hipper at different levels.

The location experiences regular flooding, with notable water events occurring in 2007, November 2019, and February 2020 during Storm Dennis.

Official opening: February 1897
