Mention should be made of the nearby Dryburgh Suspension Bridge, also on the Tweed, opened in 1817, but which only lasted four months before being collapsing. I think this is an important piece of contextual information!
The Dryburgh Bridge is referenced on the Captain Samuel Brown page. -- Kvetner 13:48, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Can we leave this date (1802) alone please? If it's removed, it implies the bridge was authorised by an Act of Parliament in 1819 - but the Act was in 1802, not 1819, as is clear from the references in the bibliography. The authorisation to build the bridge was in 1819, but the Act was not - I hope that's clear! -- Kvetner 21:41, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
It would be useful to view the primary source in this case the "Berwick and Durham Roads and Tweed Bridges" act 1802. Was consent actually given for a bridge at this location? Also there was a later act in 1819 titled the "Durham and Berwick Roads and Bridges" which maybe more relevant. Would it be possible to add the actual text from "Union Chain Bridge - Linking Engineering', Gordon Miller, " to this discussion. I removed the date originally as it was given as 1902, which was obviously incorrect. I remove the reference to 1802 as the sentence was ambiguous "The bridge proposal, received consent via an 1802 Act of Parliament in July 1819 and construction began that year on 2 August." Thank you for clarifying the sentence. --

The Bridge is currently closed to motor traffic. During a recent inspection it was found that one of the vertical hangers had snapped. -- PeterNisbet 00:57, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Moved to Union Chain Bridge. No such user ( talk) 14:11, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
Union Bridge, Tweed → Union Chain Bridge – The Union Bridge is generally always known as the Union Chain Bridge. This is what Visit Northumberland call it, for instance, and it's also what it's called by the Friends of the Union Chain Bridge. Additionally, using the longer name would remove the need to disambiguate the article by including the name of the river. Zacwill ( talk) 16:33, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
