Grosvenor Bridge, Railway bridge in Wandsworth, London, England
Grosvenor Bridge spans the River Thames between Vauxhall Bridge and Chelsea Bridge, featuring four steel arches with a total length of 283.5 meters.
The bridge opened in 1860 as Victoria Railway Bridge, marking the first railway crossing over the Thames in central London at a construction cost of £84,000.
The structure connects the distinct neighborhoods of Pimlico and Chelsea on the north bank with Nine Elms and Battersea on the south bank.
The bridge carries ten railway tracks into Victoria Station, making it a primary transportation artery that supports approximately 1,000 train crossings each day.
During the 1963-1967 reconstruction, engineers retained only the original pier cores while modernizing the entire structure to accommodate additional railway tracks.
