Mercury Bridge (also known as Station Bridge), is a grade II listed structure that crosses the River Swale in North Yorkshire, connecting the town of Richmond to the south side of the river. The bridge was commissioned by the railway company whose Richmond railway station terminus lay across the river, and so provided ease of access to Richmond town where there had not been a bridge before. The bridge now carries the A6136 road and was renamed from Station Bridge in 1975 in honour of the Royal Corps of Signals (whose cap badge has a winged Mercury motif). The bridge was noted for being one of a few railway-owned bridges which carried no rails.
