Description
Road Bridge over river. 1964. A Goldstein, engineer of R. Travers Morgan and Partners. Prestressed concrete bridge superstructure, reinforced concrete piers and abutments. Three span continuous structure: 130-260-130ft. Nine small box girders cast in-situ on falsework. Outer faces formed with vertically fluted surface, fascia precast concrete units with exposed dark blue Shap granite aggregate. Abutment wing walls unusual, surfaces are tiled cylinders. The character of this well designed and detailed bridge appears to be traditional between 1950s and 1960s - having continuous box girders but a large number of small, ones with no edge cantilever, included as an architecturally exceptional example of an unusual type of bridge.
