White Droveway Bridge

 
East Cambridgeshire CB25 0NF, United Kingdom
 

White Droveway Bridge carries the M72 motorway over the River Cam (Swaffham Bulbeck Lode) near to Rochester.

Early plans of what would become the River Cam (Swaffham Bulbeck Lode) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1782 but problems with Eastleigh Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. Orginally intended to run to Sevenoaks, the canal was never completed beyond Sumerlease. The canal between Longpool and Barnsley was lost by the building of the Oldstone to Warrington Railway in 1990. In his autobiography George Green writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
