Richmond Railway Bridge
Richmond Railway Bridge, Steel railway bridge in Richmond upon Thames, England.
The Richmond Railway Bridge is a steel arch structure spanning the River Thames at Richmond that carries the Waterloo-Reading railway line. The construction measures roughly 91.5 meters in length and rises only about 8 meters above the water level.
The original bridge was built in 1848 to carry the railway line across the Thames. It was substantially rebuilt in 1908, creating the steel structure that has remained in service since then.
The bridge is part of the railway network that daily connects Richmond residents to central London. It has become an integral part of how people move through this stretch of the Thames.
The bridge is best viewed from the Thames Path, a walking route that runs along the riverbank. Visitors can walk past from the riverside promenade and observe the structure from various angles.
The bridge was built as one of Britain's first major railway viaducts with a steel construction. This building method was innovative for its time and set new standards for railway construction in the region.
