Victoria Bridge, Hereford is a foot-bridge in Hereford, opened in 1898 to commemorate the 1897 Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria.[1] It is located on Mill Street and crosses the River Wye. The suspension bridge features iron lacework and was built to replace an earlier ferry across the river. It is classified as a Grade II bridge which the United Kingdom states deserves "every effort to preserve them."[2] Its history is highlighted at the Hereford Library and Museum.
In 2006, the local Hereford council allocated £725,000 ($942,826) to restore the footbridge to its original colors as well as reinforce various segments to ensure safety.[3]
