This new bridge over Surrey Canal Road was installed in October 2011. It will carry an extension of London Overground's East London Line. The extension, which is due to open in 2012, will enable East London Line trains to run via Peckham Rye to Clapham Junction. There was previously a footbridge across Surrey Canal Road at this point. A photo of the footbridge is here: Image The road here was formerly a canal, which was used primarily for transporting timber. The canal ran from the River Thames to Camberwell with a branch to Peckham.
