A Model of Isambard Kingdom Brunel's Royal Albert Bridge

            The Royal Albert Bridge spans the River Tamar in England between Plymouth, Devon, and Saltash, Cornwall.  Its unique design consists of two 455-foot lenticular iron trusses 100 feet above the water, with conventional plate-girder approach spans. This gives it a total length of 2,187 feet.  It carries the Cornish Main Line railway in and out of Cornwall. 
The Royal Albert Bridge was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.  Surveying started in 1848 and construction commenced in 1854.  The first main span was positioned in 1857 and the completed bridge was opened by Prince Albert on 2 May 1859.  Brunel died later that year and his name was then placed above the portals at either end of the bridge as a memorial.  Anniversary celebrations took place in 1959 and 2009.
