Wilford Suspension Bridge
Wilford Suspension Bridge, Grade II listed suspension bridge in Nottingham, England.
The Wilford Suspension Bridge spans 69 meters across the River Trent, connecting the Meadows area to Wilford through steel cables and stone-clad towers.
Built in 1906 by the Nottingham Corporation Water Department, the bridge cost £8,871 and served primarily to transport water to the Wilford Hill reservoir.
The bridge represents early 20th-century engineering methods, displaying the period's infrastructure development through its dual-purpose design for water transport and pedestrian access.
Following a £1.9 million restoration in 2010, the bridge now serves pedestrians and cyclists while carrying gas and water pipelines beneath its deck.
The structure functions both as a suspension footbridge and an aqueduct, featuring twin dual steel suspension cables that support its multiple utility purposes.
