The (steel box structure) Taplow Riverside footbridge

Posted on September 14, 2025September 14, 2025 by ecwlarcombe

Opened in November 2018, the award winning Taplow Riverside Footbridge is a River Thames crossing that provides a new pedestrian link in the Thames Path to connect the Taplow riverside development with Maidenhead.

Spanning 40m, the shallow arch form of the design is inspired by Brunel’s nearby Maidenhead Bridge and is echoed in the slender steel box structure.

Durability was an important aspect of the bridge’s design. The careful detailing of the structure facilitates easy long-term maintenance. The entire structure is also painted to a high standard, including the arches which were designed from the start as a sealed, painted section.
