An Entity of Type: Arch, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Maidenhead Railway Bridge, also known as Maidenhead Viaduct and The Sounding Arch, carries the Great Western Main Line (GWML) over the River Thames between Maidenhead, Berkshire and Taplow, Buckinghamshire, England. It is a single structure of two tall wide red brick arches buttressed by two over-land smaller arches. It crosses the river on the Maidenhead-Bray Reach which is between Boulter's Lock and Bray Lock and is near-centrally rooted in the downstream end of a very small island.

dbo:abstract
  • Maidenhead Railway Bridge je obloukový železniční most při anglickém městě Maidenhead. Most byl postaven v letech 1835–1838 jako součást jednoho z nejvýznamnějších projektů britského konstruktéra Isambard Kingdoma Brunela, železnice Great Western Railway a otevřený byl 1. července 1839. Po dokončení se stal známý jako největší a nejplošší cihlový most na světě. Dva hlavní oblouky mají rozpětí 39 m; oblouk, pod kterým prochází stezka Thames Path se kvůli své ozvěně nazývá The Sounding Arch. Původní šířka mostu byla 9,1 m; v letech 1890–1892 byl most rozšířen Sir na současných 17,45 m. Výška mostu nad Temží je 9,8 m. Maidenhead Railway Bridge je jedním ze dvou mostů, které v Maidenhead překlenují Temži - druhým je silniční most z roku 1777. Železniční most je také vyobrazen na olejomalbě Rain, Steam and Speed - The Great Western Railway Williama Turnera z roku 1844. * Rain, Steam and Speed – The Great Western Railway, dielo Williama Turnera z roku 1844 (cs)
  • Die Maidenhead Railway Bridge ist eine von Isambard Kingdom Brunel erbaute Eisenbahnbrücke der Great Western Main Line, die 1839 dem Verkehr übergeben wurde. Sie überquert östlich von Maidenhead die Themse und wird heute noch genutzt. Historic England stuft sie als Baudenkmal Grade I ein. (de)
  • Le Maidenhead Railway Bridge (Maidenhead Viaduct, The Sounding Arch, en français pont (aussi viaduc) de Maidenhead) est un pont ferroviaire en Angleterre permettant à la Great Western Main Line (GWML) de franchir la Tamise entre la ville de Maidenhead (Berkshire) et le village Taplow (Buckinghamshire). Il traverse le fleuve sur le tronçon Maidenhead-Bray. L'ouvrage est une structure composée de deux grands arcs en larges briques rouges contrefortés par deux plus petits arcs terrestres. Le pont de Maidenhead a été conçu par Isambard Kingdom Brunel, ingénieur en mécanique et génie civil à la Great Western Railway Company, et a été achevé en 1838 mais n'a été mis en service que le 1er juillet 1839. Pendant sa construction, les arches novatrices de la structure, de faible hauteur, ont suscité de nombreuses critiques et controverses quant à leur prétendu manque de stabilité. En conséquence, l'échafaudage des arches a été laissé en place jusqu'à sa destruction lors d'un violent orage à la fin de 1839, mais les arches sont restées en place, confirmant ainsi le dessein de Brunel. En 1861, une voie à double écartement a été installée sur toute la structure, permettant ainsi aux services à écartement large et à écartement standard de la traverser. À la fin des années 1890, le pont fut élargi de part et d'autre pour permettre à la structure de disposer de quatre voies à écartement standard, tâche confiée à l'ingénieur des travaux publics Sir John Foler, qui attachait une grande importance à la préservation du design et de l'apparence d'origine. Aujourd'hui, le pont de Maidenhead constitue un carrefour clé le long de la section est de la ligne principale Great Western, permettant aux trains de rejoindre le terminal de la ligne dans la capitale, la gare de London Paddington. Au cours des années 2010, les voies ont été équipées d'équipements de lignes aériennes et d'infrastructures associées afin de permettre à la traction électrique de circuler sur la ligne. Le pont de Maidenhead figure sur le tableau Rain, Steam and Speed - The Great Western Railway (Pluie, Vapeur et Vitesse), peint par Turner en 1844 et maintenant exposé à la National Gallery à Londres. En juillet 2012, le pont ferroviaire de Maidenhead a été classé comme monument de catégorie I en raison de son importance historique. À ce jour, les arches de la structure restent les plus surbaissées jamais construites. (fr)
  • Maidenhead Railway Bridge, also known as Maidenhead Viaduct and The Sounding Arch, carries the Great Western Main Line (GWML) over the River Thames between Maidenhead, Berkshire and Taplow, Buckinghamshire, England. It is a single structure of two tall wide red brick arches buttressed by two over-land smaller arches. It crosses the river on the Maidenhead-Bray Reach which is between Boulter's Lock and Bray Lock and is near-centrally rooted in the downstream end of a very small island. The Maidenhead Bridge was designed by the Great Western Railway Company's engineer, the noted mechanical and civil engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and it was completed in 1838, but not brought into use until 1 July 1839. While it was being constructed, the innovative low-rise arches of the structure attracted considerable criticism and controversy surrounding their alleged lack of stability; as a result, the centring for the arches was left in place until its destruction during a heavy storm in late 1839, yet the arches stayed up, effectively vindicating Brunel's design. During 1861, dual-gauge track was installed across the structure, allowing both broad gauge and standard gauge services to cross it. During the late 1890s, the bridge was widened on either side to allow the structure to carry an arrangement of four standard gauge tracks, a task which was supervised by the civil engineer Sir John Fowler, who placed a high level of importance upon preserving the bridge's original design and appearance. Today, the Maidenhead Bridge forms a key crossing along the eastern section of the Great Western Main Line, allowing trains to proceed to and from the line's terminus in the capital, London Paddington station. During the 2010s, the tracks across the structure were provisioned with overhead line equipment and associated infrastructure as to allow electric traction to use the route. The Maidenhead Bridge features in Rain, Steam and Speed – The Great Western Railway, painted by J. M. W. Turner during 1844 and now in the National Gallery, London. It is approximate to the finish line of an annual day of rowing races, known as the Maidenhead Regatta. The Thames towpath passes directly under the right-hand arch (facing upstream), which is also known as the Sounding Arch as a result of its spectacular echo. During July 2012, the Maidenhead Railway Bridge was upgraded to a Grade I listed structure in light of its historical importance; to this day, the arches of the structure remain the flattest to have ever been constructed.
