This little bridge on Gypsy Patch Lane carries the main railway line from Bristol to the Midlands. Looking at the sky, the new electrified structures hint of the modernisation of the lines that has reached the periphery of Bristol. However, the bridge is a well-known traffic pinch-point and will soon be demolished to make way for a wider one that will allow the Metrobus system to use it.
