London Albert Bridge (#0198)

London Albert Bridge (#0198)
The Albert Bridge was initially a privately built (in 1873) toll bridge; the economics of private toll bridges did not work out and in 1877 all London bridges across the Thames were bought by the city. Structurally the bridge also changed multiple times over the years, from its original design as a cable-stayed bridge, to a suspension bridge, to what is now effectively a beam bridge; the roadway has also changed multiple times in terms of width and load capacity. The Wikipedia entry sums this up well.
