The Union Chain Bridge or Union Bridge is a suspension bridge that spans the River Tweed between Horncliffe, Northumberland, England and Fishwick, Berwickshire, Scotland. It is four miles upstream of Berwick-upon-Tweed. When it opened in 1820 it was the longest wrought iron suspension bridge in the world with a span of 449 feet (137 m), and the first vehicular bridge of its type in the United Kingdom. Although work started on the Menai Suspension Bridge first, the Union Bridge was completed earlier. Today it is the oldest suspension bridge still carrying road traffic and is a Category A listed building in Scotland, a Grade I listed building in England and an International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark. It lies on Sustrans Route 1 and the Pennine Cycleway.

  • Die Union Bridge, auch Union Suspension Bridge oder Chain Bridge genannt, überspannt den Fluss Tweed zwischen , Northumberland in England und , Scottish Borders in Schottland. Die schmiedeeiserne Kettenbrücke wurde von dem Ingenieur Samuel Brown zwischen August 1819 und Juli 1820 in weniger als 12 Monaten gebaut, während für eine vergleichbare Steinbrücke damals etwa drei Jahre benötigt wurden. Sie war die erste Hängebrücke in Europa, die von Fuhrwerken benutzt werden konnte. Heute ist sie die älteste Hängebrücke, die noch immer für den Straßenverkehr genutzt wird. (de)
