Description
Chiswick Bridge is an arched road bridge built between 1930 and 1933. The engineer was Alfred Dryland, with Herbert Baker serving as the consulting architect, which gives the bridge its distinctly Georgian character. It features mass concrete footings and abutments, reinforced concrete arches of cellular construction, and is clad in Portland stone. The bridge is 70 feet wide between the parapets and has three spans: the center span measures 150 feet, while the shore arches are 125 feet each, with one approximately 60 feet roadway arch on each bank. Pedestrian access is provided to a broad pavement by elegant brick stairs, and a riverside walkway is spanned by arches that, on the Hounslow side, offer storage for a boat club. Each side of the bridge has a polygonal viewing platform located on the line of piers. Notably, the center span is the longest concrete arch of any bridge spanning the Thames.
