Southwark Bridge

A steel arch road bridge opened in 1921 and carried by the A300. It is the least used road crossing of the Thames in London: Wikipedia's account of Albert Bridge notes that Albert is the second-least busy and that "only Southwark Bridge carries less". Like the other four City Bridge Foundation crossings, it is maintained from the Foundation's endowment rather than from council budgets, and its works page currently lists no major closures.
