Chertsey Bridge is a stone arch bridge spanning the River Thames between Chertsey in Surrey and Shepperton in Middlesex. The present structure dates from the late eighteenth century, having been rebuilt in 1785 to replace an earlier medieval bridge that occupied the same crossing. The bridge comprises multiple arches of Portland stone and represents an important example of Georgian bridge engineering. It remains a significant river crossing and has been substantially altered and strengthened during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to accommodate modern traffic demands.
