North Bridge is a Victorian iron and stone bridge at Halifax, West Yorkshire, in northern England. It crosses the valley of the River Hebble, connecting the town to roads to Bradford and Leeds. Replacing an earlier six arch stone bridge, it was raised to allow the subsequent construction of the Halifax and Ovenden Joint Railway beneath it, including North Bridge railway station. Opened in 1871 amid chaotic crowd scenes it carried increasingly heavy traffic until it was by-passed by the Burdock Way in 1973. It remains in use for local traffic. On the south end of the structure was a theatre, adjoining the bridge, called the Grand Theatre.
