Preston Pipe Bridge

The Preston Pipe Bridge carries three water pipes across the River Tees between Ingleby Barwick and Preston-on-Tees in the borough of Stockton-on-Tees, northern England.

Preston Pipe Bridge is a 210 feet (64 m) span tied arch bridge with concrete abutments[1][2] and supplies water to southern Teesside.

The bridge was built in 1959 by constructor Dowsett to carry two 33 inches (84 cm) diameter water pipes across the Tees.

[1][2] The bridge arch, weighing 200 tonnes was assembled on the Durham bank from prefabricated parts and rolled out across the river on a temporary Bailey bridge, then moved sideways onto its pre-prepared concrete abutments.

[1] A third pipe was added in 1979 and there is strictly no public access across the bridge.
