Dunham Bridge Company
Dunham Toll Bridge carries the A57 over the River Trent between the villages of
Newton on Trent and Dunham on Trent, crossing the border between the counties
of Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire.
In the 1830s a group of Lincoln businessmen built the original cast iron bridge.
The superstructure of the bridge was re-built in steel to trunk road standards
in 1975/76.
However, as it still stands on the original piers and abutments a fund is being
set aside for its eventual reconstruction.
In 1994 a new toll plaza was constructed. The extra booth expanded the toll collection facility from two lanes to four and
has virtually eliminated traffic queues.
Free passage over the bridge is permitted on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Three wheeler disabled vehicles (only) also enjoy free passage.
