Waverley Bridge, Road bridge and category A listed building in central Edinburgh, Scotland.
Waverley Bridge spans across Edinburgh's former Nor' Loch valley, connecting Market Street in the Old Town with Princes Street in the New Town.
Engineers Blyth and Westland constructed the current bridge structure between 1894 and 1896, integrating it with the roof of Waverley Railway Station.
The bridge stands between Edinburgh's medieval Old Town and Georgian New Town, forming a vital connection between these two distinct architectural periods.
Since 2020, the bridge maintains restricted vehicle access, prioritizing pedestrian and cycle traffic while offering direct entry to Waverley Station below.
The bridge functions as part of Waverley Station's roof, allowing travelers to observe trains running along the railway lines underneath the structure.
