Harrington Bridge crosses the River Trent near Sawley in Derbyshire carrying the Tamworth Road (B6540) into Leicestershire.

The stonework of the bridge dates from 1790, but the central section was replaced in 1905 after it was damaged by flood water.

In 1792, a ford to the west of the bridge became impassable as a result of a weir built at Redhill in Nottinghamshire which must have increased the income from tolls.

In 1906 a two-span riveted steel girder bridge was erected replacing the central section, retaining the original stone approach arches.

[1][8][9] It now carries Tamworth Road, the B6540, (formerly the A453) over the river providing a link between Leicestershire and Derbyshire.
