The Tyne Bridge is a through arch bridge over the River Tyne in North East England, connecting Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead. The Bridge was outlined by the building firm Mott, Hay and Anderson, who later composed the Forth Road Bridge, and was worked by Dorman Long and Co. of Middlesbrough.

A proposition for a pinnacle to be worked as an option settling site was made in 2011, and in November 2015 a neighboring lodging presented an arranging application for measures to demoralize the feathered creatures.

The Tyne Bridge's towers were worked of Cornish rock and were planned by neighborhood planner Robert Burns Dick as stockrooms with five stories.
