River Crossings
There are 25 structures built for crossing the river Pitt and a further 12 structures for crossing the three main tributaries. There are road and rail bridges, farm bridges, and garden bridges. Constructions range from a three arch brick viaduct built in the 1850's for the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway (SDJR) to a 21st century prefabricated metal garden bridge. There are a range of stone constructed arch bridges the earliest of which is probably Pitcombe bridge which was built in 1764 for the Bruton Turnpike Trust.
The number of structures on the main river equates to an average distance between crossings of approximately 330 metres and you can view a distance and structure chart per river section by clicking here.
