Grosvenor Bridge, Grade I listed stone arch bridge in Chester, England
The Grosvenor Bridge spans the River Dee with a single stone arch extending 200 feet across the water and rising 60 feet above the surface.
Construction of the bridge started in 1827 under architect Thomas Harrison, and Princess Victoria officially opened it on October 17, 1832.
The bridge stands as a representation of British engineering excellence, marking Chester's transformation from a medieval town into an industrial transportation center.
Vehicles can access the bridge via the A483 Grosvenor Road, while pedestrians may view it from the Riverside Promenade throughout the day.
At its completion in 1832, this structure held the record for the longest single-span stone arch bridge in the world for three decades.
