Grandpont Bridge, Footbridge in Oxford, England
The Grandpont Bridge spans across the River Thames, connecting Friars Wharf in St Ebbes to the Geoffrey Arthur Building of Pembroke College.
Built in the 1930s, this structure initially served as a utility bridge carrying gas pipes from the local coal processing facility across the Thames.
The name Grandpont originates from the surrounding district south of the Thames, reflecting the medieval history of Oxford's river crossings.
The bridge forms an essential section of the Hanson Way and connects to National Cycle Network route 5, serving both pedestrians and cyclists.
Following structural concerns in 2021, the bridge underwent substantial repairs and reinforcement work, completed in October 2023.
