| Information | |
Lambton Bridge carries the A183 over the River Wear to the east of Chester-le-Street, on the road to Shiney Row and Sunderland.
This bridge is similar to those at Croxdale, also on the Wear, and at Swalwell on the Derwent. Like its two sister bridges it has stone-faced abutments and piers, the parapets being of cast iron. The river here is wooded and a footpath goes all the way upstream to the County Cricket Ground.
