Brock's Bridge

Brock's Bridge is a road bridge in Bristol, UK that crosses the River Avon. It was built to provide road access to a former railway depot that was the original planned site of the Bristol Arena.

History
In March 2016, the bridge was officially named Brock's Bridge, after William Brock (1830-1907), an engineer from Totterdown. A plaque was unveiled on 16 March. However, the bridge is not yet open. In 2018 the arena plans were scrapped in favour of an arena in a former aircraft hangar at Filton Airfield. The "Arena Island" site remains under development with plans for apartments, a hotel and conference centre, but as of 2023 the bridge remained a "bridge to nowhere"

Design
The bridge is 63 m long and 18 m wide. It was assembled from site from 137 pieces of steel.
