Silver Street Bridge, Road bridge in Cambridge, England
Silver Street Bridge spans across the River Cam, connecting both sides of Cambridge with a stone and cast iron structure constructed in 1959.
The location previously hosted two smaller bridges until 1615, when Small Bridges Street was renamed to Silver Street, though the crossing kept its original name.
The bridge stands near multiple Cambridge University buildings and represents a central point for students, academics, and residents crossing the River Cam daily.
The structure accommodates both vehicle and pedestrian traffic, providing essential access between the eastern and western parts of central Cambridge.
A hermit maintained the medieval bridge at this location in 1396, collecting contributions from travelers and conducting services in an adjacent chapel.
