North Bridge, Halifax is a
Victorian iron and stone bridge at
Halifax, West Yorkshire, in northern
England. It crosses the valley of the
River Hebble, connecting the town to roads to
Bradford and
Leeds. Replacing an earlier six arch stone bridge it was raised to allow the subsequent construction of the Halifax High Level Railway under it with an adjoining station. Opened in 1871 amid chaotic crowd scenes it carried increasingly heavy traffic until it was by-passed by the Burdock Way in 1973. It remains in use for local traffic.
