This bridge carries the railway line from Dartford to Crayford and is one of three lines from Dartford to Charing Cross. This narrow bridge restricts traffic flow on what has become a very busy road. Satellite navigation has possibly directed traffic from the busy Dartford - Crayford Road, via Maiden Lane, through to Thames Road thereby by-passing Crayford. The Thames Road is a busy arterial taking traffic from and to the Dartford Crossing. Note the post making a coal boundary to the right of the photograph.
