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