Bridge Documentation

This beautiful cast iron arch bridge was widened on one side at a later date with riveted arch ribs. However, this alteration was done with great care, so both sides of this bridge still look beautiful. Indeed, the bridge is a nice comparison between the cast iron and rolled iron/steel technologies applied to the same bridge type. The historic integrity of both halves of the bridge is outstanding, with the widening itself being the only notable alteration.

The bridge is part of an elevated railway line, which consists of stone arch spans.
