Maisemore Bridge

The bridge carries the A417, and incidentally the Three Choirs Way, across the western arm of the River Severn to Alney Island. It dates from 1956 http://www.brantacan.co.uk/severn_arches.htm and is the first arch bridge upstream of the mouth; "this bridge cannot be photographed properly without a boat". I'd concur with that, but this is an attempt.
