The main photo was taken from a footpath that is about 10m to the north of the bridge. Footpaths pass under the bridge on both sides of the road so there are opportunites for photos from many different angles.

This bridge has a two lane road passing beneath it in a north/south direction. A clearance height is shown with a clearance of 15 ft 06 in. This bridge is just south of another bridge that crosses Bekesbourne Road with that bridge carrying the mainline trains. A little to the west of this bridge the tracks come together and use the same bridges on their routes into the DLR stations at Bank and Tower Gateway and the mainline station at Fenchurch Street.

In the photo, the mainline bridge can be seen in the top right corner of the photo. The entrance to Limehouse DLR and mainline stations is accessed from between the bridges.
