caption_attribution_description: English: This is an image of the 1906 Tees Valley Line bridge over the river Tees. The masonry piers date from 1844 while a new steel plate girder superstructure was added in 1906 and was in use until 2009.
context_page_description: The Surtees Rail Bridge is a rail bridge on the Tees Valley Line over the River Tees in the Borough of Stockton-on-Tees.
  The bridge is south of Stockton-on-Tees town centre and just north of the adjacent Surtees Bridge which carries the A66 road.
  The bridge is built on the site of a series of Tees Bridges alternating between two adjacent crossing sites.
context_section_description: In 1881 a wrought iron bridge was constructed with five spans of plate girders supported on concrete-filled iron cylinders.
  When the bridge was superseded by the 1906 bridge the tracks were removed.
  In 2008-2009 the 1881 bridge was dismantled and removed by Carillion Civil Engineering to make way for the 2009 Surtees Rail Bridge.
