Corbridge Bridge is a 17th-century stone bridge across the River Tyne at Corbridge, Northumberland, England.
The bridge used to carry the A68 road over the River Tyne, but since the opening of the Hexham bypass (A69) the A68 now crosses by the Styford Bridge, 3 miles (5 km) downstream of Corbridge. It is listed as a Grade I listed building by Historic England.[1]
