Dunham Bridge is a Toll Bridge crossing the River Trent between Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. It carries the A57 between the A1 and Lincoln.

History

The first bridge was built by a group of Lincoln businesmen in the 1830s, under the powers of the "Dunham Bridge Act 1830". The bridge was a cast iron type bridge, and was replaced by the current bridge in 1976. The new bridge still rests on the original brick columns.

Since 1994, there are 4 toll booths, upgraded from the original 2.
