There is no evidence Boxted bridge is not safe for vehicles

Watch this film of a Vintage Car Rally going over Boxted bridge in October 2021

“The load test carried out on the bridge in September found that the bridge’s structural condition made it unsafe for vehicles to cross. However, it found the bridge could accommodate a path for pedestrians and cyclists.” (Essex Highways Letter to Residents January 20 2026)

Boxted bridge has not been tested for vehicles only for pedestrians!
