Wylam Bridge, Road bridge in Wylam, Northumberland.
The steel and stone structure spans 110 meters across the River Tyne, connecting North Wylam with the railway station in South Wylam through nine segments.
Constructed in 1836 as a timber bridge on stone piers, the structure underwent reconstruction in 1897 when steel replaced the wooden components.
The bridge connects communities on both sides of the River Tyne, linking the industrial heritage sites of North Wylam with transportation networks in South Wylam.
The bridge measures 7.3 meters in width, accommodates two lanes of traffic, and includes a designated pathway for pedestrians crossing the River Tyne.
During World War II, engineers reinforced the structure in 1942 to support the weight of military tanks crossing between the northern and southern banks.
