Cawood Bridge
Cawood Bridge is a swing bridge which spans the Yorkshire River Ouse in North Yorkshire, England. Construction was authorized in 1870, with the formation of the Cawood Bridge bridge company. It was opened on 31 July 1872 to replace the ferry, and is located about half way between Naburn and Selby. It is the only bridge from the village of Cawood that crosses the river. It is a Grade II listed building.
==Operations==
The bridge is the responsibility of North Yorkshire County Council.
Cawood Bridge has a weight limit of 7.5 tons. CCTV cameras are installed to monitor traffic not adhering to the weight limit or red lights, and allow officials to see traffic in all directions. It is the policy of North Yorkshire County Council to prosecute any overweight vehicle, or vehicle jumping the red lights, caught on CCTV. Previous fines have been as much as £900. Crossing vehicles used to be charged a toll, but this system has since been scrapped.
The bridge has experienced numerous problems in the past, due partly to its age, but mainly due to the increasing numbers of heavy goods vehicles and heavily laden farm vehicles which ignore the weight limit on the bridge. It has been plagued with issues such as the locking pin falling out of place, cracks forming in the supporting structure, and frequent jamming of the swing mechanism, which has in the past caused heavy traffic delays and massive tailbacks.
