Queen Alexandra Bridge :: NZ3857
The Queen Alexandra Bridge spans the River Wear at Sunderland. The bridge had two decks when it opened in 1909, with a road on the lower deck and a railway above. The railway lasted only until 1921 and has been dismantled, but the lower deck remains open to road traffic.
More information about the Queen Alexandra Bridge can be found on the Sunderland History website LinkForgotten Relics Link
