Possibly 19th century underbridge at Mill Wood, M11, London to Cambridge railway (EHER 41106)
Please read our guidance about the use of Essex Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Between the up-line facing spur to the airport and the M11 bridge, the line is taken over a footpath on this bridge. It appears to have been narrowed and reinforced since original construction as there are two newer red brick piers with a short concrete beam to support the track across the piers. Beyond the newer piers is on both sides is older brick work and the metal railings extend well beyond the current opening. The bridge was described in a 2013 heritage assessment.
