Victoria Bridge is a road bridge running North/South between Datchet and Windsor, Berkshire, England. It crosses the River Thames on the reach between Old Windsor Lock and Romney Lock. It was built in 1967 to replace a damaged bridge.
The Victoria and Albert Bridges in Datchet were built to replace the old Datchet Bridge as part of the rerouting of the Datchet to Windsor roads following the expansion of the grounds of Windsor Castle. Victoria Bridge was built in 1851.
The bridge was severely damaged by a group of tanks crossing it during World War II but was not closed until 1963, operating with weight restrictions.
