'Fulham Railway Bridge' crosses the
River Thames in
London. It is very close to
Putney Bridge, and carries the
London Underground District Line between
Putney Bridge station on the North, and
East Putney station on the South. Fulham Railway Bridge can also be crossed on foot, on the downstream (east) side.
The bridge is of lattice girder construction and 418 metres long, with 5 spans totalling 301 metres actually across the river, two further spans on the southern shore, and one on the north. It was designed by
Brunel's former assistant
William Jacomb and opened in 1889.
