Old Hansons Bridge in Dudley is demolished
- 7 days ago
The removal of 'Hanson's Bridge' across the Birmingham New Road at Dudley was completed in early December 2023.
The bridge, which had been a familiar landmark to motorists using the Birmingham New Road in Dudley for over 170 years is no more.
This weekend has marked the passing of the bridge to make way for Phase One of the the Midland Metro extension project from Wednesbury to Brierley Hill.
The original bridge was built in 1849 for the South Staffordshire Railway as part of a new line from Burton-upon-Trent, through Lichfield, to Dudley.
