The very first bridge of CTRL1, over Road B260 Longfield-Dartford, just West of Longfield. The older bridge is that of the defunct Fawkham Junction-Gravesend West line, which closed down in the 60s. The Fawkham Jct-Southfleet portion re-uses this defunct line on most of the route. Yet, the bridge had too a tight gauge clearance (NR-W6, single track) to accommodate the HSL.
