Vauxhall Bridge, Grade II listed footbridge in Bristol, England.
The cast iron footbridge spans 270 feet across the New Cut of the River Avon, connecting neighborhoods with its 11-foot-wide pathway.
Built in 1900 to replace the Vauxhall ferry service, the bridge operated as a swing structure until 1936 when navigation on the New Cut ceased.
The bridge represents Bristol's industrial heritage and received Grade II listed status in December 1994 for its engineering and architectural value.
The structure remains closed for extensive repairs and restoration work, with completion expected within two years from October 2023.
The bridge features a 158-foot swinging section, designed to allow ship passage, though this mechanism has not been used in over 85 years.
