The Chamberlain Bridge is a bridge in Bridgetown, the capital and largest city of the nation of Barbados. In 1872, it was a swing bridge across the marine inlet channel of the inner basin of the Careenage (Constitution River) at Carlisle Bay.[2] The outmoded steel structure was dismantled and rebuilt in 2005–2006[3] as a lifting bridge with the state-of the-art modern technology of an all-composite single-leaf[1] bascule design.[4] This design is a counterweighted bridge span that pivots upward, permitting pleasure craft to pass through an inlet channel.[5] The bridge was built using fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP), which is lighter, long lasting and non-corrosive.[6]
There are two bridges in use in Bridgetown. The Charles Duncan O'Neal Bridge is large and modern in design, commencing from the street east of National Heroes Square, while Chamberlain Bridge is the more "decorative humpbacked bridge" built to replace the original swing bridge after the Great Hurricane with funds generated through the efforts of the then British Colonial Secretary, Joseph Chamberlain (1836–1914).[7]
