Rutherford Bridge

Rutherford Bridge is a road bridge that crosses the River Greta, built in 1773. The parapet was rebuilt and end walls were added in the 19th century. The bridge is constructed of sandstone ashlar, with dressed sandstone sections from the 19th century. It is a single-track, slightly hump-backed bridge featuring end walls and end piers.

The bridge has identical faces and a 25-metre span semi-circular arch with flush voussoirs. It has flanking flat-faced piers, with the north-east pier having a battered abutment. The flat coped raking parapet is made of tooled and margined masonry. The north end walls have cylindrical end piers, while the south end walls are splayed, with the east wall being approximately 10 metres long and featuring a similar pier at the midpoint, and a shorter west wall with a similar end pier.

Rutherford Bridge straddles the parishes of Bowes and Scargill.
