Redheugh Bridge carries the M1 motorway over the River Tyne near to Westton.
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 major road over the canal.

![Redheugh Bridge, view to Newcastle. The bridge [[1743665]] has two lanes for cars in each direction and a pedestrian footpath only on the east side. The traffic crosses at great speed (despite the 50 mph limit) and all is very exposed in high winds. The building to the left, mostly below the bridge level is the Metro Radio Arena [[1238846]] by Andrew Curtis – 08 March 2010](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/74/50/1745079_5d5cb335_120x120.jpg)
