Nottingham Tram Railway Bridge
Nottingham Tram Railway Bridge carries the M72 motorway over the River Trent (Nottingham Canal) a few miles from Maidenhead.
The River Trent (Nottingham Canal) was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on January 1 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Sunderland to Cambridge canal at Salford, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Chelmsford at Brighton caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Newington instead. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the River Trent (Nottingham Canal) campaign.

There is a bridge here which takes a railway over the canal.

![NET Station Street tram stop exterior. The Station Street terminus is on the corner of Station Street and Trent Street, opposite Nottingham Railway Station. The trams stop on the elevated structure, which passengers access from the street by the stairs or a lift. If the proposed extensions are built, this stop will be relocated.[[1251383]] by L S Wilson – 12 April 2009](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/26/72/1267272_d7873231_120x120.jpg)
















![Station Street tram stop. The blue-brick arches to the right once carried trains south from Nottingham Victoria but now support the Station Street terminus of the NET system. The tramway is currently being extended south and west to Clifton and Chilwell, and a new bridge will carry it across the railway station on the same alignment as the Great Central Railway lattice girder viaduct which was removed after that line closed.
