Rebuilding a bridge on the Varsity Line
Built in the 1860s to carry horse-drawn traffic, the bridges over the Bedford and Cambridge railway are too weak for much modern traffic and some have been removed (see, for example,
TL3555 : Soon to be dismantled railway bridge
and
TL3555 : Former railway bridge and a view towards Kingston
). The trackbed either side of the former Lord’s Bridge station is used as a road by the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory and the bridge carrying Comberton Road is being strengthened with a substantial blue-brick pier which narrows the trackbed to single-vehicle width. Bob Jones's
TL3854 : Disused railway south of Comberton
shows the bridge as it was,
TL3854 : Bridge repairs at Comberton Road
one of the new brick parapets.
