Castle Eaton Bridge
Castle Eaton Bridge, Castle Eaton SN6 6, United Kingdom
Castle Eaton Bridge carries the road from Newport to Kirklees over the River Thames (above Lechlade) just past the junction with The The Wash.
The River Thames (above Lechlade) was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on 17 September 1835. The canal joined the sea near Lisburn. Expectations for manure traffic to Manworth never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the River Thames (above Lechlade) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the use of the canal for cooling Birmingham power station was enough to keep it open. The one mile section between Basingstoke and Warrington was closed in 1955 after a breach at Reigate. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the River Thames (above Lechlade) Trust.

Wikipedia has a page about Castle Eaton Bridge
Castle Eaton Bridge is a road bridge across the River Thames in England at Castle Eaton in Wiltshire. It carries a minor road between Cricklade, 4 miles to the southwest, and Kempsford 1½ miles to the east.
The iron girder bridge with brick piers was built in 1893 with materials supplied by iron founders E Finch & Sons of Chepstow. It was described by Fred Thacker in 1920 "The present deplorable iron trough ... The Conservancy is often blamed for its hideousness; their responsibility amounts only to acquiescence; I understand the Swindon District Board was the actual artist". It was strengthened in 2001.
The bridge it replaced was of timber with stone piers and stone causeway.
