Walton Bridge open in July

The new Walton Bridge is now open and being used by thousands of cars passing from Walton to Shepperton and vice-versa.

The latest Walton Bridge construction is the first new road bridge over the River Thames for more than 20 years - meaning it has caught the eye of bridge-enthusiasts the world over.

The complete structure's official opening date is on 22 July.

This is the sixth time Walton Bridge has been built - and three now remain, all adjacent and within a few yards of each other. Walton Bridge is unique within the bridge world for these reasons and is sure to make it into many Bridge Guides in the future.

The opening of Walton Bridge is a great moment for bridge-enthusiasts and locals alike. The trip time between Walton, Weybridge, Shepperton and Chertsey is now minimised.

The finished Walton Bridge will bring some brilliant improvements to many people's daily commute, along with being a very attractive build.

One of the first drivers to cross the bridge described the trip as "fantastic" and the structure as "beautiful".

Although some complaints have already been made about the bumpiness of the approach roads. Although another local commented that it "added to the experience".

Work began in 2012 and has continued for around 18 months.
