Weymouth Town Bridge

The bridge, opened in 1930, is the sixth to have been built across the harbour since 1597 and has been Grade II Listed since 1997.

The first bridge connecting the two boroughs was built of timber in 1597 to replace a rope ferry that had operated for many years.

[1] This bridge underwent repair after suffering damage during the English Civil War of 1642-1646.

The present bridge was constructed in 1929-30, with the foundation stone having been laid in April 1929 by Percy Boyle, the Mayor of Weymouth.

[4] Bolton and Larkin Ltd was employed as the general contractor, with the steelwork contract going to Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company.
