Corbridge Bridge is a Roman bridge crossing the River Tyne at Corbridge in Northumberland, dating to the second century AD. The bridge formed part of the Roman road network serving the important fort at Corbridge (Corstopitum), which occupied a strategic position on the Stanegate frontier during the Roman occupation of Britain. The surviving remains consist of substantial stone piers and abutments that are among the best-preserved examples of Roman bridge engineering in Britain. The site demonstrates the sophistication of Roman construction techniques and the significant investment in infrastructure required to maintain military and commercial communications across the frontier region.
