Lady Bay Bridge, Road bridge in Nottingham, England
Lady Bay Bridge spans the River Trent with two lanes connecting Radcliffe Road on the south side to Meadow Lane on the north side.
First constructed in 1878 as a railway crossing for the Midland Railway line from Melton Mowbray to Nottingham, the structure was converted to road use in 1979.
The bridge appeared in the 1982 television adaptation of Smiley's People, where it represented a crossing point between East and West Berlin.
Following damage from a lorry collision in July 2022, the bridge operates with one-way southbound traffic while repairs continue with temporary concrete barriers.
The location of the bridge has served as a crossing point since Saxon times, with evidence of earlier structures in the same position across the River Trent.
