The engineer who designed it was Robert Stephenson (son of railway pioneer George Stephenson). The second bridge is the Royal Tweed Bridge. was designed by L G Mouchel & Partners and built by Holloway Bros Ltd between 1924 and 1928. The bridge cost a total of £180,000 and opened with great ceremony by the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII on 16th May 1928. It is Grade II listed structure. The third bridge is dates from 1624 and is the fourth to have stood on this location. Two of the previous structures were destroyed by flooding and one by an English attack. The bridge is 355 metres long and was the original route of the A1, before the construction of the Royal Tweed Bridge in the 1920s. The bridge is a Grade I listed structure.
