Railway Bridge, Dunchurch
Image: © Stephen McKay Taken: 2 Aug 2009
This bridge carries the westbound carriageway of the A45 over the disused Rugby - Leamington railway just south of the site of Dunchurch station. The parallel eastbound bridge is the original stone arch, illustrated here: Image Passenger services were withdrawn as long ago as 1959 but the line remained open for a daily coal train serving the cement works at Long Itchington until 1985. More recently there were proposals to reopen the line to reduce lorry traffic on unsuitable rural roads, but they came to nothing.
