Wark Bridge is an iron bridge over the River North Tyne at Wark on Tyne in Northumberland. It carries a single-lane narrow roadway linking Wark on the west bank of the river with the villages to the east, on an iron superstructure borne on stone pillars.
The bridge, which replaced a bridge of timber construction, was built by Hawks, Crawshay and Sons of Gateshead and opened in 1878. It underwent a major refurbishment in stages between 2010 and 2015.[1]
