Styford Bridge, Highway bridge in Northumberland, England

Styford Bridge extends across the River Tyne with three concrete spans, carrying the A68 road east of Riding Mill through the Northumberland countryside.

The construction of this £530,000 infrastructure project began in 1977 and reached completion in 1979 under the supervision of Northumberland County Council.

The Duke of Northumberland presided over the bridge opening ceremony on October 10, 1979, marking a milestone in regional infrastructure development.

The bridge functions as a vital connection point between the A68 and A69 roads, enabling direct passage over the River Tyne without routing through Corbridge.

In 1990, the bridge received minor surface damage when a Royal Air Force Tornado crashed nearby following a mid-air collision between two military aircraft.
