Windmill Bridge, Road bridge and navigable aqueduct in Hanwell, England
Windmill Bridge is a road bridge and navigable aqueduct in Hanwell with three stacked levels of transportation. The structure carries a road on top, a canal crossing in the middle, and a railway line at the bottom.
Isambard Kingdom Brunel designed this bridge in 1859 as his final railway project before his death that same year. The work displays his innovative approach to solving complex infrastructure demands.
The bridge represents Victorian engineering solutions that managed multiple transportation routes in a confined space. It shows how London's growing industry required the railway, canal, and road to work side by side.
Visitors can reach the bridge via Windmill Lane, while Three Bridge Park offers observation points for viewing the structure. The location provides good sightlines from several angles to examine the engineering details.
The cast iron aqueduct sections display original manufacturer details, including the maker's name and historic London address. These markings preserve a piece of Victorian trade history on the structure itself.
