Clifton Bridge (Nottingham)

Clifton Bridge is the name given to two distinct bridges spanning the River Trent in Nottingham, England. The first bridge, known as the Clifton Suspension Bridge, is a historic suspension bridge designed by Thomas Telford and completed in 1831. This bridge, while initially envisioned as a road crossing, primarily served pedestrian traffic for much of its existence. It is a Grade I listed building.

The second bridge, often referred to as the Clifton Bridge or the new Clifton Bridge, is a much more modern concrete bridge located nearby. This bridge carries significant vehicular traffic, forming a crucial part of Nottingham's road network and connecting the Clifton area to the city center. This bridge carries the A52 road.

The proximity of these two bridges sharing the same name can occasionally cause confusion, particularly when discussing traffic or transportation issues. It is important to clarify which Clifton Bridge is being referenced to avoid misunderstandings.
