Hawarden Bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hawarden Bridge is a railway bridge over the River Dee, near to Shotton, Flintshire, Wales. It was built by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (which later became the Great Central Railway), as part of the Chester & Connah's Quay Railway. It opened in 3 August 1889. The central section could be swung open to allow shipping to pass, although the bridge no longer opens.
The bridge is still in use as part of the Borderlands Line from Wrexham to Bidston. Hawarden Bridge railway station is on the north side of the bridge, while Shotton station is on the south side.
