Vauxhall Bridge, Bristol

Vauxhall Bridge is a footbridge in Bristol, England, that crosses the New Cut of the River Avon. At its northern end, the bridge also passes over the Bristol Harbour Railway line from Ashton Gate to Wapping Wharf, which runs along the bank of the New Cut at this point. The bridge was opened in 1900, replacing the Vauxhall ferry. On 30 December 1994, it was Grade II listed. The bridge closed for repairs on 2 October 2023, and is expected to remain closed for up to two years.

When the bridge was built, the New Cut was still in use by shipping to and from Bathurst Basin and the various shipyards that adjoined the cut, and consequently the bridge was built as a swing bridge. It is approximately 270 ft long and 11 ft wide, with a swinging section of 158 ft in length. Navigation ceased on the New Cut in the 1930s, and the bridge was last swung in 1936.
