Richmond Railway Bridge

The Richmond Railway Bridge spans 91.5 meters across the River Thames, connecting the Waterloo-Reading railway line through its steel arch structure.

Built in 1848 and reconstructed in 1908, the bridge demonstrates the evolution of railway infrastructure during the rapid expansion of London's transport network.

The Grade II listed structure represents the engineering capabilities of the Victorian era, reflecting the industrial progress of nineteenth-century Britain.

Regular maintenance and structural upgrades ensure the bridge continues to serve thousands of daily commuters between Richmond and central London stations.

The bridge's steel framework combines structural efficiency with architectural elements that complement the Thames riverside landscape of Richmond.
