Quarterbridge, Isle of Man, Historic bridge at road junction in Douglas, Isle of Man
Quarterbridge forms a crucial intersection where the A1 Douglas to Peel road meets the A2 Douglas to Ramsey road and A5 Douglas to Port Erin road.
The original bridge from 1727 was destroyed in a storm, leading mason Charles Scott to construct a single-arched span across the River Glass in 1809 for £280.
The name Quarterbridge derives from the traditional land divisions called quarterlands, which included farmsteads managed by landholders for cultivation purposes.
A £4 million road safety initiative in 2008 introduced new roundabouts, improved drainage systems, and comprehensive surface modifications to enhance traffic flow.
The site marks the boundary between Braddan and Onchan parishes, featuring the convergence of three major roads at the one-mile mark from TT Grandstand.
