Dunham Bridge, Toll road bridge in Dunham-on-Trent, Great Britain
The bridge spans across the River Trent at coordinates 53.2608,-0.773, connecting the villages of Newton-on-Trent and Dunham-on-Trent between Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire.
Built in 1832 by Lincoln businessmen, the bridge replaced the Dunham Ferry crossing, which King William III used in 1695 to meet the Duke of Newcastle upon Tyne.
The bridge represents a significant engineering achievement from the early 19th century, with its original piers and abutments still standing despite the 1978 steel superstructure renovation.
The structure operates with a four-lane toll plaza implemented in 1994, accepting both cash and card payments, while offering free passage to pedestrians and cyclists.
Eliza Woolas from Laneham earned recognition as the first person to cross the bridge, using a wooden plank during its final construction phase.
