The second swing bridge at Sutton Bridge on the former M&GN route from Spalding to Kings Lynn now exclusively used by road traffic on the busy A17. The first bridge here was used by rail traffic only however it was replaced by this structure with rail using the left hand section and road the right. After the closure of the M&GN both sections of the bridge are used for road traffic. The bridge does still open to maritime traffic on the River Nene from the quayside at Wisbech.
