Triple parapet bridge

Someone a while ago wondered whether there were any more examples of a turnover bridge with attached roadway besides Bridge 95 on Braunston Puddle Banks. Last year I found one on the BCN (Spon Lane Bridge on the Old Main Line).

And here's another. Bridge 47 just north of Gayton Junction on the GU.

Not a good photo, but Milton Road crosses the canal on the same structure, meaning that between the two parapets is a third wall separating the road from the towpath as it is taken over the canal.

There's another on the Lancaster, just southward of the Glasson branch junction. There is a farm accomodation track as well as the turnover. I've seen more (but can't remember where just at this instant); I think they are not uncommon. Regards, Bill.S

The one at Autherley Junction is another. Marty
