Dist:0.8km west<br/>Two for the price of one here. The near bridge carries the northbound carriageway and the northbound entry slip road at Junction 6, while the far one carries the southbound carriageway. The different building materials suggest that the brick faced near bridge is the original, while the distant concrete one is a later addition, built when the junction was improved.

Dist:1.0km east<br/>The Watford Junction to St Albans Abbey line was opened by the London & North Western Railway (LNWR) in 1858, so it will celebrate its 150th anniversary in 2008. There has been a station at Bricket Wood ever since the line opened. The original plan was to extend the line beyond St Albans to Luton and Dunstable but these plans never came to fruition. The current timetable has 21 trains a day on weekdays in each direction along the single track line, taking a scheduled 14 minutes between Watford and St Albans.
