The bridge was built in 1896 and opened in 1897, with an expected lifespan of 50 years..... it is a listed structure and as such enjoys some heritage protection. It still swings to allow river traffic to pass. It is the main A17 from Lincolnshire to Norfolk and crosses the river nene at Sutton Bridge. The village grew up around the bridge and is named after it.
