Park Bridge is a road bridge in Aberdeenshire, Scotland which crosses the River Dee. It is currently open to pedestrians and cyclists, and it also carried vehicular traffic until February 2019.
Park Bridge was built in 1854 by the Deeside Railway to improve southern access to its line and Park railway station.[1] Until 1962, the bridge was tolled. On 16 April 1971, the bridge became Category A Listed.[2]
The bridge was closed to vehicular traffic in February 2019 following the discovery of structural defects during a routine inspection.[3]
