Cycle track descending to Silver Street, Midsomer Norton
The track leaves the trackbed of the former railway to cross the road just below Midsomer Norton South station. The railway line crossed the road on a bridge, now removed.

Missing Railway Bridge
There was a railway bridge here from 1874 to 1966 when the railway closed along with the adjacent Midsomer Norton South station. The station has been restored, but it is unlikely that the bridge will be reinstated. As can be seen, the old track on the other side of the road has been turned into a foot and cycle path. It continues into Radstock, which was the next station.
