The Royal Albert Bridge spans the River Tamar between Saltash, in Cornwall, and Plymouth, in Devon. Isambard Kingdom Brunel designed the wrought iron railway bridge in 1855 for the Cornwall Railway. The structure was completed and opened four years later, in 1859, the same year that Brunel died. The words “I.K.BRUNEL, ENGINEER, 1859” can be read on either side of the bridge, added to commemorate the opening of the bridge and the death of the famous engineer who designed it.
