The Royal Albert Bridge spans the River Tamar between Plymouth, Devon, and Saltash, Cornwall.
Its unique design consists of two 455-foot (138.7 m) lenticular iron trusses 100 feet (30.5 m) above the water, with conventional plate-girder approach spans. This gives it a total length of 2,187.5 feet (666.8 m).

It carries the Cornish Main Line railway in and out of Cornwall. It is adjacent to the Tamar Bridge, which opened in 1961 to take the A38 road.
