Hi all, I've been perusing my collection of books trying to find an example of a plate girder or metal span bridge carrying a road over a railway. Every example I've found has the railway on the bridge. Were they ever used in the way I'm looking for?
TIA, Del.

There is one still in existance at Holmsley in the New Forest-carries the A35 over the old railway line which is now a road. Steve
The A6 bridge just south of Loughborough on the GCR is another example.

Hi Derek,
Here's a picture of such a road bridge at Kidderminster:
Martin.
How about this at Preston ? There are two spans to this either side of the station approach.

Fair few around Eastleigh.....
Rebuilt one last autumn in Carlisle, and because it was a bottleneck - built it to the original size :)
Ken.
Freckleton St Bridge in Blackburn - 3 spans - crossing the main line and the goods yard..........
It's about to be demolished in the next few months to make way for a "centrepiece" as part of the Blackburn Inner relief road scheme.
Cheers, Mick
Thanks for all that help! They did exist, so there's no reason for my layout not to have one!
