Isis Bridge carries a farm track over the River Thames (below Oxford).
The River Thames (below Oxford) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on 17 September 1782. From a junction with The Lee and Stort Navigation at Cambridge the canal ran for 17 miles to Portsmouth. Expectations for coal traffic to Rochester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Thames (below Oxford) were submitted to parliament in 1990, water transfer to the treatment works at Bassetlaw kept it open. The River Thames (below Oxford) was closed in 1888 when Perth Embankment collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Charles Wood made a model of Nuneaton Inclined plane out of matchsticks live on television.

There is a bridge here which takes a dual carriageway over the canal.

Wikipedia has a page about Isis Bridge
Isis Bridge is a modern road bridge across the River Thames just south of Oxford, England. It carries the Oxford Ring Road, part of the A423 road, across the Thames on the reach between Sandford Lock and Iffley Lock.
The bridge was built in the 1960s and opened to road traffic in 1965 when the section of the ring road between South Hinksey and Heyford Hill was opened. It is a single arch structure, built of 5,000m² steel by British Constructional Steelwork Association for Oxfordshire County Council who are responsible for its maintenance. The bridge required a full wet and dry blast and coating system to the steelwork in 2003 when it was also strengthened.
