The problems of the use by 21st century road traffic of a late 18th century canal bridge are illustrated here, on the southern approach to the bridge along Horsenden Lane South. Width restrictions, imposed by the posts and reinforced by the raised kerbing, also create weight restrictions, while the traffic lights show one way vehicle movement only over the bridge.
