Welcome to the website of The Rochester Bridge Trust.

The Rochester Bridge Trust is looking for a team of enthusiastic and energetic people to help celebrate civil engineering with children and adults, to support its free summer activities in Rochester Cathedral.

Bridges
The Rochester Bridge Trust has built and maintained numerous Medway crossings since medieval times. In the late fourteenth century the old Roman bridge was destroyed by winter storms.
