'''Isis Bridge''' is a modern road bridge across the [[River Thames]] just south of [[Oxford]], England.  It carries the [[Oxford Ring Road]], part of the [[A423 road]],  across the Thames on the reach between [[Sandford Lock]] and [[Iffley Lock]]. 

The bridge was built in the 1960s and opened to road traffic in 1965 when the section of the ring road between [[South Hinksey]] and Heyford Hill was opened.<ref>{{Citation
