| | PB Network | Issue 57 | The River Torridge Bridge |
 | | The River Torridge Bridge design represented a pioneering use of segmental bridge construction in the UK when it was started in the 1970s. |
 | | In this article with a historical perspective, the author tells how many of the challenges were met, including a large tidal range, the risk of ship impact, deep scour holes, and a deep rock profile. |
 | | The River Torridge starts among the high tors of Dartmoor and meanders quietly northwards through the Devonshire countryside until it reaches the historic port of Bideford where, quite suddenly, it is transformed into a major tidal estuary. |
