Abstract
Completed in 2021, the new Pooley Bridge in Cumbria is the UK’s first stainless-steel road bridge. It replaced an iconic 1764 stone bridge that was destroyed in a storm. The enforced 18 km detour meant a replacement was quickly needed, but the World Heritage location demanded a high-quality design too. The solution was an elegant and innovative stainless-steel structure that has become a tourist attraction in its own right. This paper describes the design, offsite manufacture and construction of the multi-award-winning crossing.
