Conwy Railway Bridge
Conwy Railway Bridge, Historic railway bridge in Conwy, Wales.
Conwy Railway Bridge is a railway crossing that spans the Conwy River and is supported by stone towers at each end. Two large grey tubes form the track way for train services running between Llandudno Junction and the coastal town of Conwy.
The bridge was designed by Robert Stephenson in 1848 and shows a major development in British railway infrastructure during the Industrial Revolution. Stephenson's tubular bridge design was innovative at the time and demonstrated advanced construction methods of that era.
The bridge sits alongside Conwy Castle and forms part of the transportation story of North Wales. Visitors can see how its original Victorian engineering details remain visible in the structure today.
The crossing operates daily for train traffic and can be viewed from the riverside walk or from Conwy Castle. Pedestrians can see and photograph the structure from several vantage points around town.
This is the last remaining example of Stephenson's tubular bridge design after the Britannia Bridge was destroyed in 1970. This rare survivor makes the bridge an outstanding record of a short-lived construction technique from the 19th century.
