St Peter's Bridge, Burton upon Trent, Road bridge in Burton upon Trent, England
The 800-meter reinforced concrete structure spans across the River Trent, connecting Burton with Stapenhill through nine spans supported by eight pier sets.
The bridge opened in 1985 after local authorities approved the £2.6 million project in 1977 to address traffic congestion from increased car ownership.
The structure takes its name from the nearby parish church of Stapenhill and represents the third road crossing of the River Trent built since 1915.
St Peter's Bridge carries approximately 24,000 vehicles daily on the A5189 road, providing an alternative route to Burton Bridge 1.3 kilometers north.
In 2017, the bridge underwent a £6.1 million renovation replacing 80 bearings, waterproofing the deck, and installing new expansion joints ahead of schedule.
