Laira Bridge

[2] The bridge carried the London and South Western Railway branch to Turnchapel over the River Plym in Devon.

Later the Great Western Railway also had running powers over the bridge, providing access to their Yealmpton branch at Plymstock.

The bridge was built by Messrs Relf and Pethick after being authorised by an act of parliament in 1883.

[3] In 2015, the bridge was restored at a cost of £3.5 million in order to turn it into a cycle and pedestrian pathway.

The bridge reopened in May 2015,[4] linking into existing footpaths and cycleways which join Devonport and Stonehouse in the west to Plymstock and Plympton in the east,[5] including Route 27 of the National Cycle Network.
