St Albans: Camp Road Bridge

The blue bridge was opened in 2003 and reinstated the former Hatfield and St Albans Railway bridge crossing over Camp Road at this location. The railway was completed in 1865 and was taken over by the Great Northern Railway in 1883. It was a very early casualty of British Railways' days being closed to passenger traffic in 1951. Freight services lingered on until 1964. The trackbed itself is now a public path known as the Alban Way and it also forms a section of National Cycle Network Route 61. See Barry's TL1606 : Alban Way. Blue Bridge over Camp Road, St Albans for a view from the other side in January 2006.
