Footbridge over the A2

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 looking towards the footbridge which leads from Rochester Drive to the south side of the A2 here. The Shuttle Riverway also crosses the bridge - see http://walkaroundlondon.com/the-sunny-shuttle-riverway-and-a-bit-more/ and http://www.tonero.me.uk/walkmaps/T&Swalks78.pdf.
