Clifton Suspension Bridge spans the River Avon gorge in Bristol. By Isambard Kingdom Brunel it was completed in 1864, 5 years after Brunel's death.


Clifton Suspension Bridge is one of Bristol’s most recognisable structures. Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, it marks a turning point in the history of engineering and has come to symbolise a city of original thinkers and independent spirit. The Bridge is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days of the year. A one-way system is currently in operation for pedestrians.
