Summary

[edit]
Description

Hawarden Bridge is a railway bridge over the River Dee, near Shotton, Flintshire, Wales.Hawarden Bridge is part of the Borderlands Line from Wrexham to Bidston. Hawarden Bridge railway station is on the north side of the bridge, while Shotton station is on the south side.Hawarden Bridge was designed by the civil engineer C.A. Hobson; he decided to opt for a metal structure, using steel, which was a recent but proven material amongst railway engineers of that era.River traffic still travels underneath Hawarden Bridge. Perhaps most significant is the traffic from Airbus’ nearby factory at Broughton; the large wings of the Airbus A380 superjumbo are transported from the facility on barges along the Dee roughly three times per week.It has been protected as a Grade II listed structure.
