Westhay Bridge in summer
Westhay Bridge in summer
The present bridge was built in the 1960's, and carries the B3151 Glastonbury-Wedmore road.
Compare a winter flood sceneST4342 : River Brue in flood at Westhay Bridge (taken from the bridge looking West). The photographer's position for this summer photo would be under water in the winter scene.
The reclaimed nature of the landscape means there is no other bridge over the river for about 8km going westward (on the Burtle-Mark road) or 6km going East (minor road to Godney), so it is a vital communications link.
ST4342 : The River Brue, Westhay shows the view from the bridge looking East in a non-flood season.
