It seems there are two temporary bridges here, with the second (upstream) bridge perhaps added for construction access. It looks like two-way traffic on the bailey bridge (see the bus on the south bank approach) but maybe flow direction was controlled by traffic lights. The tram lines of the Kingsway subway can be seen emerging onto the embankment road. |

The bailey bridge had been in place for years whilst they decided about the new bridge, it wasn't finished till quite late in the war, it's called the lady's bridge as it was finished with female labour as the men were away at the war. it is said the bailey bridge was eventually reused crossing the rhine late in the war |
