Carlisle Bridge, Railway bridge and Grade II listed building in Lancaster, England
The Carlisle Bridge spans the River Lune with three spans measuring 120 feet each, supporting the West Coast Main Line railway tracks and a pedestrian walkway.
Engineers Thomas Brassey, William Mackenzie, and John Stephenson constructed the bridge between 1844 and 1846, opening it for railway traffic in 1847.
The structure represents a significant example of Victorian railway engineering, demonstrating the industrial capabilities and architectural standards of nineteenth-century Britain.
Regular inspections and maintenance work ensure the bridge continues to serve both train passengers and pedestrians crossing the River Lune in Lancaster.
The bridge features two piers positioned in the water and underwent substantial reconstruction between 1962 and 1963 to strengthen its structural integrity.
