Conwy Railway Bridge, Historic railway bridge in Conwy, Wales.
The Conwy Railway Bridge spans 125 meters across the Conwy River with two large grey tubes supported by stone towers at each end.
Robert Stephenson engineered this Grade I listed structure in 1848, marking a significant advancement in railway infrastructure during Britain's industrial expansion.
The bridge stands near Conwy Castle, contributing to the transportation heritage of North Wales while maintaining its original Victorian engineering features.
National Rail operates regular train services across this dual-tube bridge, which connects Llandudno Junction with the coastal town of Conwy.
This structure remains the last surviving example of Stephenson's tubular bridge design following the 1970 destruction of the Britannia Bridge.
