Surtees Rail Bridge, Railway bridge in Thornaby-on-Tees, England
The Surtees Rail Bridge spans across the River Tees, connecting both sides of the Tees Valley Line with three spans made of steel and concrete.
Built between 2006 and 2008 for 14.3 million pounds, this structure replaced the 1981 bridge that experienced settlement issues requiring complete reconstruction.
The bridge represents the latest in a succession of rail crossings at this location, dating back to the first iron chain suspension bridge of 1830.
Located at coordinates 54.554833, -1.31075, this bridge carries multiple daily passenger and freight trains across the River Tees near Stockton-on-Tees.
Engineers aligned the new bridge piers with the middle piers of the previous 1906 Tees Bridge during construction to maintain structural efficiency.
