Bus emerging from the High Level Bridge
This lower level (road) is now southbound only. Note also the traffic light to the left of the bus (at amber) which is for cyclists turning left or crossing the bridge by means of the walkway to the side. See NZ2563 : Lower level of the High Level Bridge, Gateshead end for further description.
The High Level Bridge, River Tyne
The High Level Bridge is a road and rail bridge linking Newcastle and Gateshead across the River Tyne. It was designed by Robert Stephenson; work started on 12 August 1847 and it was opened on 7 June 1849 and was the first road/rail bridge ever built. It is a Grade I listed structure.
The road carriageway and pedestrian walkways sit under the railway deck. The road crossing the bridge (B1307) is one-way (southbound) due to the narrowing of the carriageway during strengthening works in 2008.
The bridge is 408m long and 12m wide.
