This bridge, 'LON 651', carries traffic over the A20, a major road that runs into London from Kent. At this point the road splits to pass under the bridge to allow for a central bridge support. Two lanes are on each side of the support. Those to the north of the support heading east and those to its south are heading west. To the south of this part of the bridge there are brick arches supporting the railway so it is conceivable that there used to be arches here but they were removed due to the height restriction they imposed.
Bridge Type: Girder
Bridge Usage: Railroad
Moving Bridge: This bridge is static (has no moving pieces)
