Bridges On The Aln

LESBURY NEW BRIDGE

The new bridge is part of a £3.1 million scheme of road and bridge improvements on the A1068 road from Amble to Alnwick, and replaced the old bridge in 2004, with a new roundabout to the north. It is of a strikingly modern design by Northumberland County Council. Suitable for today's traffic it lies west of the old bridge on a new alignment and its bowstring arches lean away from the roadway.

A footpath striding up the hilll to the southwest leads to the river beside the railway viaduct and eventually to the main road near Hawkhill bridge.
