Coalbrookdale Bridge - Coalbrookdale Bridge

This cast iron arch bridge spans Coalbrookdale upstream of the River Severn in England. It is the world's first iron bridge, built in 1779 by the iron manufacturer Derby. It is now called The Iron Bridge. It has a span of about 30 meters, and the total weight of the iron used is about 380 tons. In recent years, it has undergone major restoration for preservation purposes, but its original shape has been well preserved, making it a valuable heritage in the history of bridge engineering.
