New in the 19th century when it was first built to enable quicker access to the Lewes-Seaford road though it wasn't until the post war period that the industrial estates were developed. The bridge was built in the 1970s as part of a scheme that included the small ring road around the High Street and carries the A259 over the A26 and its port traffic, the railway and eventually via a new swing bridge over the river.
