Summary
| Description |
English: Cross Keys Bridge. Crosskeys Bridge is the third bridge to cross the river Nene at this location. The first timber and cast iron bridge was built by Rennie & Telford in 1831. It was replaced by another, designed by Robert Stephenson, in 1850. The current bridge, a swing bridge like its predecessor, was built in 1897 and used to once cater for road traffic on one side and rail on the other. The railway reached Sutton Bridge in 1862 but with the Beeching cuts it was closed in 1965 and the bridge converted to purely road use, taking the A17 over the river. For a closer view see > 1528308.
Several images of the bridge (including one showing the previous swing bridge which no longer exists) when it was still used by the railway can be found here: http://www.leytransport.i12.com/joint.htm. Many thanks to Ashley Dace > https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/29497 for providing this link. |
