Britain's Coastal Road Bridges by Mark Chatterton

Britain's Coastal Road Bridges by Mark Chatterton

There are thousands of road bridges all over Britain with many being found around the coastline. In a first, transport historian Mark Chatterton takes the reader on a journey along the coast of Great Britain, detailing 100 different road bridges. Starting with the Queen Elizabeth Bridge on the River Thames going in a clockwise direction, the author examines the history, construction details and architecture of these road bridges, including those at river estuaries as well as those connecting islands to the mainland. These include well-known examples such as the Humber, Severn and Forth road bridges, as well as some of the more obscure structures such as the Bridge of Tongue and the Whitby Swing Bridge. Illustrated with over a hundred colour photographs, this book is a fascinating guide to Britain’s coastal bridges.

'Illustrated with over 100 colour photographs, it is a fascinating guide to major engineering achievements that so often get taken for granted' -- Classics World Magazine, September 2024
