The original Medway Bridge was built jointly by J.L.Kier & Co. and Christiani and Nielsen Ltd. whose estimated cost of two and one third million pounds was accepted by the Ministry for Transport in August 1960. It was constructed from prestressed concrete and is cantilevered. The overall length, excluding embankments is 3340 ft., with a main span of 500 ft. and anchor spans of 312ft. 6in. The height of the road surface above mean tide level is 116 ft. In addition there are 18 viaduct spans. Foundations and piles driven down into bedrock chalk provide support.
