Dist:0.3km<br/>This bridge was constructed during 2007 and replaces a more modest temporary structure. All being well, this bridge should be good for around 100 years.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The original bridge that carried the B1508 over the A12 only lasted from the mid 1970s until 2007. The first bridge was constructed when the A12 Colchester northern by-pass (to the 1930’s by pass) was built. I hate to admit I took the photo standing in the middle of the remains of a road I travelled on many times as a not so young child.

Dist:0.4km<br/>A single lane bridge has been installed next to the old bridge on the B1508 to cross the A12 between West Bergholt and Braiswick. Traffic lights at either end control the traffic. Although intended to be temporary, the new bridge has been in place for many years.

Dist:0.6km<br/>This is the Junction of the B1508 in Braiswick and Baker’s lane (to the right). Bakers Lane runs from here to Lexden west of Colchester town centre. The grid reference is for the 43m Spot Height that is plumb under the mini roundabout. The picture was taken looking towards Colchester.
