Braddan Bridge, Railway and road bridges in Braddan, Isle of Man.
The bridges cross over the River Dhoo, with the road bridge featuring a distinctive left-right sequence that forms part of the racing circuit.
The railway bridge opened in 1881 as part of the Isle of Man Railway's first line to Peel, serving the local Kirk Braddan church congregation.
The road bridge section represents a critical point in the Snaefell Mountain Circuit where motorcycle racers navigate challenging turns during competitions.
Spectators can access viewing areas near the bridges via the A1 Douglas to Peel road, approximately 1.73 miles from the race start line.
A section of the original railway track remains visible on the western side of the bridge, repurposed as a fence marking the historical route.
