Crosskeys Bridge

The Crosskeys Bridge spans the tidal River Nene, connecting Lincolnshire and Norfolk with two traffic lanes and pedestrian access points.

Built in 1897 for £80,000, this swing bridge initially served both railway and road traffic until the railway line closure in 1965.

The bridge structure includes a separately listed Hydraulic House that contained the original Armstrong Whitworth engines for the swing mechanism.

The bridge opens multiple times per week to allow ships and pleasure craft passage toward the Port of Wisbech along the River Nene.

This crossing point stands as the only connection over the River Nene between Lincolnshire and Norfolk north of the town of Wisbech.
