River Adur from the air
Adur Ferry Bridge and Norfolk Bridge are in the picture
River Adur
The river was formerly navigable for large vessels up as far as Steyning, where there was a large port, but over time the river valley became silted up and the port moved down to the deeper waters nearer the mouth in Shoreham-by-Sea. Link
Adur Ferry Bridge
The Shoreham footbridge connects the A259 Shoreham High Street / Brighton Road (opposite the end of East Street) to Lower Beach Road on Shoreham Beach. It provides a useful link for pedestrians and cuts about 1.5 miles off the alternative route via the main roads.
It has been replaced with a new footbridge, The Adur Ferry Bridge, which was opened to the public by HRH The Duke of Gloucester on 13th November 2013
