Newburn Bridge carries a farm track over the River Tyne.
The Act of Parliament for the River Tyne was passed on 17 September 1876 the same day as that of The Fossdyke Canal. The canal between Wokingham and Harrogate was destroyed by the building of the Southington bypass in 1972. In his autobiography George Smith writes of his experiences as a lengthsman in the 1960s

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

Wikipedia has a page about Newburn Bridge
Newburn Bridge is a road bridge crossing the River Tyne at Newburn in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. It links Newburn, Walbottle and Throckley on the north side of the river with Ryton, Stella and Blaydon on the south side. The bridge is the westernmost crossing of the Tyne in the county of Tyne and Wear; the next crossing upstream, Wylam Bridge, is in Northumberland.

![Newburn Bridge. A single carriageway road bridge, controlled by traffic lights at each end. The bridge was built in 1893 with a steel lattice-girder structure of four spans held on wrought-iron, concrete-filled cylinders, having very deep foundations of over 70 feet below high water. It was originally a toll bridge, with a toll house at the north east end, but bought by Northumberland and freed from tolls in 1947. The bridge underwent major renovation in 2007 at a cost of about £600,000 when it was closed to motor traffic for several months [[515091]]http://www.bridgesonthetyne.co.uk/newburn.html by Andrew Curtis – 17 September 2003](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/72/70/1727002_25494a36_120x120.jpg)
