The Twin Bridge Project for the New London Bridge was an architectural design proposed by the English architect George Dance the Younger (1741–1825) in the late 18th century. Dance, who was a prominent figure in the neoclassical movement and the City of London's Clerk of the Works, is best known for his work on the Royal College of Surgeons, the Newgate Prison, and several other notable buildings in London. His proposal for the New London Bridge was part of a competition to replace the medieval Old London Bridge, which had stood for over 600 years but was by then dilapidated and obstructive to river traffic.

Dance's design was notable for its innovative approach, featuring twin bridges that would allow for improved traffic flow and navigation along the River Thames. The concept was to have two separate, parallel bridges, each catering to different types of traffic, with one for carriages and pedestrians and the other possibly for commercial use. This dual-bridge solution was intended to alleviate congestion on the bridge and the river, a significant concern of the time.

Despite the ingenuity of Dance's proposal, it was ultimately not selected for construction. The commission was instead awarded to John Rennie, whose single-span bridge design was completed in 1831 and stood until it was replaced in the 1960s. Dance's Twin Bridge Project remains a fascinating example of the innovative architectural ideas of the period and reflects the challenges and solutions urban planners and architects grappled with in the face of rapidly growing cities and advancing technology.

The Twin Bridge Project for the New London Bridge is a testament to George Dance the Younger's vision and creativity, and although it was never realized, it contributes to the understanding of the evolution of bridge design and urban planning during the Industrial Revolution.
