King George VI Bridge, Category B listed concrete arch bridge in Aberdeen, Scotland.
The King George VI Bridge spans across the River Dee with four granite-faced concrete arches connecting the southern districts with Aberdeen city center.
The foundation stone was laid by Lord Provost Edward W. Watt in September 1938, and Queen Elizabeth inaugurated the bridge in March 1941.
Eight heraldic crests carved from Rubislaw granite decorate the bridge, representing institutions such as Aberdeen University and Robert Gordon's College.
The bridge carries the B9077 road over the River Dee, providing a connection between Kincorth and central Aberdeen through Great Southern Road.
Cast iron lamp standards along the bridge display the City Arms, originally painted and gilded at the suggestion of local artist Eric Auld.
