Donnington Bridge, Road bridge in Oxford, England
The concrete bridge spans 52 meters across the River Thames, featuring a reinforced deck slab supported by 10 pre-stressed triangulated concrete legs.
The structure opened in 1962, replacing a ferry service that connected East Oxford and South Oxford through Donnington Lane since the early 20th century.
The bridge forms part of the B4495 road network and stands near the City of Oxford Rowing Club, connecting communities along the eastern bank.
Engineers implemented a 7.5-ton weight limit in August 2024, requiring local bus services to modify their routes through alternative pathways.
The bridge's abutments incorporate Criggion Green and Blue Shap stone cladding, while the fascias consist of calcined flint materials.
