Still on many maps as 'Tank Bridge', this robust bailey bridge is heavily narrowed on its eastern approach so four-wheeled vehicles cannot, as stated on its signs is forbidden, use this main-waters-of-the-Thames crossing point. Further channels are to the east and even far west such is the complexity of the river locally. The bridge acts as a simple east-west pedestrian crossing, with Rainbow Bridge, Binsey (visible together from the Thames Path to the south). It connects Port Meadow in the City of Oxford with Binsey (of historical note its manor of Medley) in the surrounding county.
