Langport Bridge or Great Bow Bridge carries the A378 over the River Parrett. Built in 1840-1 by the Parrett Navigation Co, for whom I. K. Brunel was the Consulting Engineer, and William Gravatt designed the bridge. Edwin Down of Bridgwater was the contractor.[1]
The railway viaduct is quite a late addition, being opened by the GWR in 1906 to shorten the journey from London to Exeter.
See also Langport Railway Hotel Swing Bridge.
