St Crispin's Bridge, formerly known as Station Bridge, is a grade II listed wrought iron arch bridge over the River Wensum in Norwich, England, carrying St Crispin's Road.
The bridge was constructed in 1882 by Barnard, Bishop & Barnard. Its opening took place the same year as the opening of the nearby Norwich City railway station, after which it was originally named. City Station closed in 1969. It is next to what is now the Barn Road roundabout, and serves the south carriageway of the Norwich ring road; in the 1970s, a pre-cast concrete companion bridge was constructed immediately north of the bridge.
The bridge has a flat-arched wrought iron span of 55 ft (17 m) with latticed spandrels, and is 26 ft (8 m) wide. It features riveted steel[dubious – discuss] girders with a cast iron lattice balustrade. The words "Norwich Barnard, Bishop & Barnards 1882", are displayed on the parapet plinth.
