Runnymede Bridge, Highway bridge in Surrey, England
The Runnymede Bridge spans across the River Thames, connecting the areas of Runnymede and Staines-upon-Thames through fourteen traffic lanes and a pedestrian pathway.
The bridge design was completed in 1939 by Sir Edwin Lutyens and H Fitzsimons, but construction was delayed until 1961 due to World War II interruptions.
The bridge stands near Runnymede Meadow, where the Magna Carta was sealed in 1215, marking a fundamental moment in British constitutional history.
The structure combines the M25 motorway and A30 road sections, providing essential connections for vehicles traveling between London and surrounding regions.
Until 2013, this bridge held the distinction of being the first single-span structure crossing the Thames upstream without supporting piers in the water.
