Clyst Bridge at Clyst St Mary in Devon.
Built in the 12th Century and rebuilt in the 13th, this is the oldest Devonian bridge still in use today, Until the M5 was completed, it was part of the main route from Devon to London. It was then bypassed with the completion of the A3052/A366 roundabout. Through traffic is now restricted to pedestrians, horses and bicycles...

A fine collection of road works signs on the approach to the Sidmouth Road railway bridge at East Exeter. (A grab shot taken on a Panasonic TZ70 from a moving bus)

Whilst searching for something I came across these I had forgotten from 12 years ago
Ingleton viaduct
I can't remember where this is! Anyone able to help, Yorkshire somewhere possibly.
and this looks like the same bridge from a different angle.
All help appreciated, thanks
Taken with a Pentax k10.

I've answered my own question with help from Google and digging deep into my memory banks -
it is
Crook of Lune. Road bridge and a disused railway bridge in the front. A lovely spot.

Does a flyover count as a bridge?

Exeter's Bridge Street is so called because it runs down from the city centre to the Exe Bridge.
Then they built a new bridge (actually two) as replacements for the medieval bridge and redirected the Exe to run under the new bridges. This allowed them to reclaim quite a lot of land, so they built a new road (called Western Way) from the new bridges to the city centre. The new road had to cross Bridge Street, and the only way to do this was to build a new bridge to carry Bridge Street over Western Way.
Hence, Bridge Street is the road on a bridge that runs down to the bridge!

"Excellent" set of bridge architecture captures Rob, really like the way you have presented just part of the bridges and of course the mono presentations are right down my street.
