🌉 Inglis Bridge, Monmouth

The Inglis Bridge, Monmouth, Wales crosses the River Monnow linking Vauxhall Fields and the suburb of Osbaston. Designed by, and named after, Charles Inglis, the bridge was constructed in 1931 and refurbished in 1988. It is a Mark II model of an Inglis bridge, and the only known example in Britain of such a bridge still in public use. Access was limited to pedestrians in 2018, vehicular use being prohibited on safety grounds. In September 2024 the bridge was also closed to pedestrians due to safety concerns. Following a sustained local campaign, supported by Monmouth's member of parliament, the Ministry of Defence announced £1M in funding to repair the bridge and restore pedestrian access in 2026. The bridge is a Grade II listed structure.
