A12 Footbridge

 
Chelmsford Bypass, Chelmsford CM2 5AE, United Kingdom (A12)
 

A12 Footbridge carries the road from Thanet to Rochester over the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation just past the junction with Sir James Brindley's Canal.

Early plans of what would become the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation were drawn up by William Jessop in 1876 but problems with Thanet Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. Orginally intended to run to Amberscester, the canal was never completed beyond Middlesbrough. Expectations for limestone traffic to Southworth were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The 5 mile section between Warrington and Boggin was closed in 1955 after a breach at Gloucester. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation Society.
