Cookham Bridge, Road bridge in Cookham, England
The single-lane Cookham Bridge spans the River Thames, connecting the communities of Cookham in Berkshire with Bourne End in Buckinghamshire.
Built in 1867 to replace a wooden structure from 1840, the iron bridge served as a toll crossing point until Berkshire County Council purchased it in 1947.
The Grade II listed structure represents Victorian engineering methods with its wrought iron girders supported by concrete-filled iron pillars across the Thames.
Traffic lights control the flow of vehicles at both ends of the bridge, while dedicated walkways provide safe passage for pedestrians crossing the river.
Engineers chose this design over Isambard Kingdom Brunel's proposed cast iron suspension bridge plan due to cost considerations during the planning phase.
