Victoria Bridge, Category A listed road bridge in Glasgow, Scotland
Victoria Bridge extends across the River Clyde with five segmental arches spanning between 20.4 and 24.4 meters in the central section.
Built between 1851 and 1854, this bridge replaced the Bishop's Bridge from 1345, marking the location of Glasgow's first river crossing from 1285.
The bridge represents a period of rapid expansion in Glasgow, when the population reached 329,000 people, doubling within 25 years.
The structure carries one-way city-bound traffic with two lanes plus a dedicated contraflow lane for buses, cycles, and taxis.
The foundations rest on timber piles steam-driven four meters below the base level, which sits six meters deeper than the previous bridge.
