Sutton Bridge, Yorkshire

The bridge crosses the River Derwent, linking Elvington in the City of York with Sutton-upon-Derwent in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

The parapet is built of three courses of stone, and there are pedestrian refuges on either side at the mid-point of the bridge.

As implied, there is no proper pedestrian path on this bridge but the traffic lights do allow for a 5-10 second gap.

It closed for a month for repairs, during which it was strengthened, and the width between the parapets was increased.

[3][4] In 2013, a ban on heavy goods vehicles using the bridge was considered in order to make it safer for pedestrians, but the plan was rejected, while various proposed safety measures were also rejected as unenforceable or unlikely to prove effective.
