King Edward VII Bridge
King Edward VII Bridge, Pipewellgate, Gateshead NE8 2FB, United Kingdom
King Edward VII Bridge carries a farm track over the River Tyne a few miles from St Helens.
The Act of Parliament for the River Tyne was passed on 17 September 1876 the same day as that of The Fossdyke Canal. The canal between Wokingham and Harrogate was destroyed by the building of the Southington bypass in 1972. In his autobiography George Smith writes of his experiences as a lengthsman in the 1960s

Wikipedia has a page about King Edward VII Bridge
The King Edward VII Bridge is a railway bridge spanning the River Tyne between Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead, in North East England. It is a Grade II listed structure. The King Edward VII bridge has been described as “Britain’s last great railway bridge”.
The bridge was designed and engineered by Charles A. Harrison, the Chief Civil Engineer of the North Eastern Railway, and built by the Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company in Darlington. The bridge consists of four lattice steel spans resting on concrete piers. The total length of the bridge is 1,150 ft (350 m) and 112 ft (34 m) above high water mark. The total cost was over £500,000.
The bridge was opened by King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra on 10 July 1906, despite being still unfinished at this time. General traffic began using the bridge on 1 October 1906. Prior to its completion, to reach Newcastle railway station, trains used the older High Level Bridge and had to leave the station in the same direction they entered by reversing. The construction of the King Edward VII Bridge provided four more railway tracks and a direct line through the station, enabling trains to arrive or depart from either side, greatly easing congestion.
