Details
The Dee bridge disaster was a rail accident that occurred on 24 May 1847 in England, United Kingdom with five fatalities. A new bridge across the River Dee in Chester was needed for the Chester and Holyhead Railway, a project planned in the 1840s for the expanding British railway system. It was built using cast iron girders, each of which was made of three very large castings dovetailed together. Each girder was strengthened by wrought iron bars along the length. It was finished in September 1846, and opened for local traffic after approval by the first Railway Inspector, General Charles Pasley. However, on 24 May 1847, a local train to Ruabon fell through the bridge. The accident resulted in five deaths and nine serious injuries.
