| Description |
English: The Kingsferry Bridge raised
This is the new Kingsferry Bridge, opened in 1960, which can lift the road and railway out of the way of passing ships. It is one of only two remaining in the world of this design. It had been raised to let the 'Wilson Helsinki' and a yacht pass through in an easterly direction. Note the railway line on the right has also been raised along with the road bridge. On the left is the new Sheppey Crossing, opened in 2006 to give a more reliable link to Sheppey as the 1960 bridge had on occasions been damaged by ships colliding with it. When this happened the island was completely cut off. |
