19 August 2026: After 2 years of construction, Sutton Weaver swing bridge opened to road traffic on the morning of Sunday 6 June 1926 when the bridge it replaced, dating from 1872, was removed and the approach roads re-aligned. All the work was carried out under the supervision of John Arthur Saner, Engineer and General Manager of the Weaver Navigation. Saner, who served from 1887 to 1934 had designed the new bridge.
