Belvidere Bridge, Railway bridge in Shrewsbury, England.
The cast iron arch Belvidere Bridge spans the River Severn with two skew arches and a central pier made of dressed grey sandstone.
Engineers Hammond and Murray constructed this railway bridge in 1849 for the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway line, with a construction cost of 80,000 pounds.
The bridge features shields on its central pier displaying the names of engineer William Baker and contractors Hammond and Murray, marking their contributions.
The structure measures 101 feet and 6 inches across each span, with a central pier standing 13 feet high in the water.
Cast iron segments from the Coalbrookdale foundry form the arches, while diamond-shaped latticework fills the spaces between the arch segments.
