Torridge Bridge, Road bridge in Bideford, England.
Torridge Bridge is a road bridge crossing the River Torridge near Bideford. It carries traffic on multiple lanes and allows vehicles to bypass the town center rather than passing through local streets.
The bridge opened in 1987 as part of a bypass project for Bideford. It replaced the previous route that ran through the town center.
The bridge design received recognition with the Concrete Society Award in 1988 for its engineering methods and structural features.
The bridge connects the A39 road with the A386 and B3233 roads through roundabouts at both ends. Vehicles can move through the area fairly quickly here.
The bridge was constructed from 251 precast concrete segments, with individual pieces weighing up to 105 tonnes during the building phase. This construction method represented a notable approach to bridge building for its time.
