Kingsland Bridge, Grade II listed arch bridge in Shrewsbury, England
Kingsland Bridge is a cast-iron arch bridge in Shrewsbury that crosses the River Severn with a high-level deck designed to carry vehicle traffic. The structure uses two main arch ribs to support the suspended roadway, creating a strong connection across the river.
The bridge was designed in 1883 by civil engineer John William Grover and constructed by the Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company. It was built to address the town's growing transportation needs during the late 1800s.
The bridge represents a significant example of Victorian engineering, connecting the educational area near Shrewsbury School with the town center.
The bridge is open to vehicle traffic and requires toll payment to cross. It provides a reliable route, especially when other river crossings become unavailable due to flooding or maintenance.
The high-level deck position allowed 1,500 people to cross on its first Sunday of operation, marking the beginning of continuous toll collection.
