TQ4974 : Alongside the River Shuttle near the A2

taken 7 years ago, near to Bexleyheath, Bexley, England

Alongside the River Shuttle near the A2
Alongside the River Shuttle near the A2
The stretch of the A2 between Falconwood and the Dartford By-pass was built between the Wars and provided considerable local employment during the recession after the First World War. It avoided the congestion through Welling and Bexleyheath which was the route of the old Watling Street. The road was increased to three lanes each way after 1963.

This view is from near the footbridge which leads across from Rochester Drive to the south side of the A2e. The Shuttle Riverway also crosses the bridge - see LinkExternal link and LinkExternal link The River Shuttle is just to the right of the path here as can be seen at Link
