Albert Bridge, Victorian bridge near Glasgow Green, Scotland
The Albert Bridge spans the River Clyde with three cast-iron arches, featuring eight ribs made of riveted wrought iron for structural support.
Constructed between 1871 and 1876, the bridge replaced four previous structures at this location, including Robert Stevenson's Hutcheson Bridge from 1834.
The bridge displays the ancient arms of Glasgow at midspan, with granite pedestals showing sculpted heads of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
This category A listed structure carries a two-way road across the River Clyde, connecting Saltmarket in central Glasgow to Crown Street.
The bridge foundations extend 86 feet below water level, using concrete-filled cast-iron cylinders as an innovative engineering solution for the period.
