Weight restriction 7.5T. on Water Orton bridge.
Most of the problems on the bridge are from people, whose vehicles are too wide, trying to cross.
Incidently when you cross look at the river on your left and there is often a beautiful white Egret sitting on the bank.
The bridge on the 4114 opposite Blyth Hall is always being repaired because, although a 30mph sign, speeding traffic accidents demolish chunks of it, they used to retreive the stones from the river to repair it but now just use concrete blocks. There is no weight restriction on it.

To create a haven for wildlife where nature can thrive and give people the opportunity to connect with Warwickshire’s nature in ways that, for many, haven’t yet been possible. Warwickshire Wildlife Trust have been laying the groundwork for the rewilding of 750 acres of land along the Blythe since 2021 and are now taking the leap into rewilding history….
