Best Answer

The first cast iron bridge ever built was called the Iron Bridge, which was opened in 1781. The five cast iron ribs from which it was built spanned 30.6 m (100 ft). 378 tons of iron were used in its production, and a total of 1700 components made up the bridge.

Where was cast iron invented?

The earliest cast iron artifacts, found in China, date back to 513 BC. The Chinese of this time had developed furnaces hot enough to melt iron. Using this process, they were able to pour molten iron into a cast or mold to make many products, including cast iron cookware. In 1708 Abraham Darby invented a process for making cast iron in large industrial quantities, suitable for making big structures such as bridges, heavy machinery, etc. His invention helped to start the Industrial Revolution in Europe.
