Hersham Railway Bridge
Opened on  28 September 1936, is an essential part of the London to Woking railway line, but needs to be widened for two way traffic and pedestrians

Let’s delve into some details:

Location and Surroundings
The bridge is situated approximately 0.7 miles (1.1 km) north of Hersham village center.
On one side, it is flanked by housing, while on the other side, it borders fields and a golf course.
The River Mole flows nearby to the east.

Bridge Structure
The railway bridge spans above street level, and its narrow arch design presents challenges.
It restricts the height to 3.2 meters (10′ 9”).
The carriageway to the south of the bridge is 10 meters wide, while the northern side measures 6.8 meters wide.

Traffic and Pollution Concerns:
The bridge’s narrowness impacts traffic flow, leading to stop-start conditions.
Residents of Molesey Road suffer from noise pollution due to braking tires and exhaust emissions.
Widening the bridge to accommodate two-way traffic and pedestrians would alleviate these issues.

In summary, No more traffic feeding into Molesey Road until the bridge is widened , enhancing Hersham Railway Bridge would not only improve traffic flow but also contribute to a cleaner and quieter environment for the residents of Molesey Road.
