Haltwhistle A69 Bridge, West is a concrete bridge across the River South Tyne at Haltwhistle in Northumberland, England.

History

The bridge is a concrete arch bridge, which forms part of the Haltwhistle A69 bypass and was completed in 1997.[1] The creation of the bypass allowed the road through Haltwhistle to be detrunked shortly thereafter.[2]

As well as carrying the A69 road, the bridge has an additional third lane (separated by a concrete safety barrier) to link adjoining minor roads and carry a footpath.[1]
