Tavy Bridge is a railway bridge across the mouth of the River Tavy just east of its confluence with the River Tamar.[1] It was built by the Plymouth, Devonport and South Western Junction Railway, and the Tavy Bridge was constructed to carry the track over the Tavy Estuary and the adjoining mudflats. The bridge is a Grade II listed building, with both ends being listed separately.
