High Level Bridge
The road and pedestrian access onto Newcastle High Level Bridge which also carries railway lines over the River Tyne.
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.
