Richmond Bridge

Opened in 1777 and still carrying the A305 across the Thames between Richmond and East Twickenham, with two lanes, footways on both sides and a signed weight rating of 18 tonnes. Parking is prohibited along both sides of the deck. It is the oldest surviving crossing listed between Teddington and Kew in Wikipedia's register of Thames crossings, which gives the 1777 opening date.
