Bishop's Bridge, sometimes known as Paddington Bridge, is a road bridge in the Paddington district of London. The bridge carries Bishop's Bridge Road across the rail approaches to Paddington Station and the adjacent Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal. The bridge has recently been reconstructed and re-opened to traffic at 4am on 14 June 2006. The new bridge, formarly known as Bishop's Bridge was built by HOCHTIEF, and replaced a narrower predecessor, which was a traffic bottleneck causing tailbacks.
