Bailey Bridge, Road bridge in Walton on Trent, United Kingdom.
The Bailey Bridge spans the River Trent with a metal truss design, supported by brick abutments and a concrete central pier measuring 85.4 meters long.
The British Army Royal Engineers constructed this crossing in 1947 as a temporary replacement for an earlier structure damaged by severe flooding.
The original 1834 bridge construction relied on public funding through shares priced at £10 each, enabling the Walton-on-Trent Bridge Company to manage crossings.
Traffic flows through a single lane controlled by signals at both ends, with vehicles required to observe a 3-tonne weight limit and 15 mph speed restriction.
A separate steel footbridge runs along the northern side of the main structure, providing dedicated passage for pedestrians crossing between Derbyshire and Staffordshire.
