Railway bridge. 1884-5 by Richard Johnson, chief engineer of
the Great Northern Railway. Riveted cast-iron with timber
deck, red brick abutments. Double track skew bridge, over
River Witham and flanking roadways, on north-west side of the
Grand Sluice.
3 spans. The outer spans are each carried by 3 parallel
segmental iron arches braced by lattice strips in the
spandrels and supported on outer brick abutments and inner
circular caisson piers set into the river bed, one pier to
each arch. The narrower central span is supported by
horizontal solid plate girders.
This bridge was built to replace an earlier iron and timber
bridge; and was built by Stanningley Iron Works, Leeds and
open to traffic on 20 May 1885. It is still in use.
