Brunel's Iron Railway Bridge, completed in 1859, was a groundbreaking achievement in its time. The bridge's innovative design combined the elegance of an iron structure with the functionality of a railway bridge, making it the first of its kind in the world. The bridge's distinctive wrought-iron lattice trusses, supported by elegant piers, allowed for the efficient and safe passage of trains over the River Wye.
