The Blue Bridge is an iron bridge across the River South Tyne at Haltwhistle in Northumberland, England.

History

The Grade II listed[1] bridge was designed by George Gordon Page: it has three arches and wooden decking and was completed in 1875.[2] The bridge was closed to road traffic in 1972 and, having been refurbished in 2003, remains in use for pedestrians.[3] It forms part of National Cycle Route 68, the Pennine Cycleway.[4]
