Royal Tweed Bridge, Deck arch bridge in Berwick-upon-Tweed, England.

The Royal Tweed Bridge extends 1,405 feet across the River Tweed with four concrete arches connecting Berwick-upon-Tweed and Tweedmouth in Northumberland.

The bridge opened in 1928 by Edward, Prince of Wales, cost £180,000 and employed 170 workers during its construction phase under Holloway Brothers supervision.

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

The bridge provides a direct route between Tweedmouth and Berwick, formerly serving as part of the A1 trunk road before the construction of a new bypass.

The northern span measures 371 feet, making it the longest concrete span in the United Kingdom when completed in the late 1920s.
