Royal Tweed Bridge

The Royal Tweed Bridge is a concrete deck arch bridge crossing the River Tweed in Berwick-upon-Tweed. It connects the town to Tweedmouth and features four large arches that span the riverbed.

The bridge opened in 1928 and was a significant engineering achievement that created a new river crossing for the area. It replaced earlier passages and shaped the region's infrastructure for decades to come.

This Grade II listed structure stands alongside earlier bridges across the River Tweed, representing the evolution of transportation architecture in Northern England.

The bridge serves as part of the local road network and provides a direct route between the two riverbanks. It is easily accessible to both pedestrians and vehicles connecting the town center with northern residential areas.

One of its main arches was among the longest concrete spans of its kind in the country when completed. This engineering feat made it a notable example of concrete construction from that era.
