Hannington Bridge carries a footpath over the River Thames (above Lechlade).
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.

There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.

Wikipedia has a page about Hannington Bridge
Hannington Bridge is a road bridge across the River Thames in England. It carries a minor road between Kempsford in Gloucestershire and Hannington Wick in Wiltshire. It was built of stone in 1841, replacing an earlier wooden bridge.
The bridge comprises three small skew arches, with a causeway at either end with flood arches. The river is navigable to it for rowing boats from downstream Lechlade but the bridge is difficult for boats to negotiate as the river is fast and shallow.
