SOUTH TYNE - HAYDON BRIDGE A69

Haydon Bridge A69


The new bridge was erected in 1970 after the condition of the old stone bridge worsened and became unsuitable for the heavy traffic on the A69 Newcastle to Carlisle road then using the bridge. The concrete bridge has five spans and has T-section girders under the carriageway, with box girders under the footpath. There are plans for a by-pass for Haydon Bridge which will mean another bridge over the river at some point. Work commenced in 2007. For more information see the website of the Highways Agency

The small town of Haydon Bridge lies on both banks of the river.
