Haltwhistle Bellister Bridge
-
Description
"This was a temporary bridge built in 1967 to replace the Haltwhistle Tyne Bridge near the station (which was no longer in use for vehicles) to give access to a plastics factory and to Plenmeller. It has now been made unnecessary since the opening of the Haltwhistle By-pass and serves as a footbridge from a residential area to the old road on the south side of the Tyne, from where the other pedestrian bridge, the Blue Bridge, can be reached. It carried traffic until 1997 when the by-pass was opened. It is a beam bridge standing on concrete piers with a concrete deck carried on steel girders. http://www.bridgesonthetyne.co.uk/haltbell.html" Photo by Andrew Curtis, 2018. -
