The Ovingham Bridge is a single-lane steel truss bridge over the River Tyne in Northumberland, built in 1883 to replace a ferry link; the bridge originally operated as a toll bridge until 1945, was extended with a separate pedestrian bridge in 1974, and underwent a major renovation between 2014 and 2016, during which the deck, piers, and foundations were strengthened to protect the structure from flooding and wear.

Very narrow bridge, best use the footpath as the traffic can be aggressive.
