The stretch of the A2 between Falconwood and the Dartford By-pass was built between the Wars and provided considerable local employment during the recession after the First World War. It avoided the congestion through Welling and Bexleyheath which was the route of the old Watling Street. The road was increased to three lanes each way after 1963. This view is of the footbridge which leads across from the south side to Rochester Drive. The houses are in Rochester Drive. The Shuttle Riverway crosses the bridge here - - see http://walkaroundlondon.com/the-sunny-shuttle-riverway-and-a-bit-more/ and http://www.tonero.me.uk/walkmaps/T&Swalks78.pdf See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4829656 for a closer view of the footbridge.
