 Battersea, Albert Bridge is a beautiful example of Victorian bridge 
architecture. It is not on most visitors' itineraries but well worth a 
visit for architecture enthusiasts.##&&The bridge is elegantly lit after sundown and is a photographic must for avid picture-takers.##&&About the Bridge##&&Albert Bridge##&&Named in memory of Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Prince Consort to
 Queen Victoria, the attractive Albert Bridge was built between and
 Designed by Rowland Mason Ordish, it was an excellent example of a
 rigid suspension bridge. It measures meters long, meters wide 
(700 ft by ft) and has a center span of meters (400 feet).##&&Renovation##&&Albert Bridge was renovated and strengthened just a dozen years after 
its completion and was made to more closely resemble a cable-stayed 
bridge, which consists of one or more columns/towers with cable stays 
supporting the bridge deck. Sir Joseph Bazelgette designed the 
alterations to the structure.##&&Saving the Bridge##&&After World War II, the bridge was slated for replacement but a group of
 adamant Londoners rallied to save it. Instead of replacing Albert 
Bridge, central supports were later added to support the increased 
amount of traffic that made its way across the bridge. Weight 
restrictions, however, remain in place for the old bridge.##&&A Funny Sign##&&If you have a keen eye, you'll notice an interesting sign posted at 
Albert Bridge. It says: "All Troops Must Break Step When Marching Over 
this Bridge" According to engineering experts, the sign was the result 
of the fear that "mechanical resonance" created by the marching soldiers
 or a similar phenomenon might damage the bridge.##&&Next:##&&Hyde Park Corner##&&Location##&&Albert Bridge Road##&&london##&&x##&&Press ESC to close##&&powered by##&&www.aviewoncities.com
