Information

Croxdale Bridge is a road bridge over the River Wear in by Croxdale in County Durham. It was built in 1924 to carry the A1, the old Great North Road south of Durham, which is now the A167 at this point. The bridge is similar in construction to both the Lambton A183 bridge and Swalwell Bridge over the River Derwent in the north-east of the county.

Croxdale village is nearby and there is a walk to Butterby Wood past Croxdale Hall on the Weardale Way and to Low Butterby by the river
