Avonmouth Bridge
Avonmouth Bridge, Portway, Bristol BS11 9, United Kingdom
Avonmouth Bridge carries the M5 motorway over the River Avon - Bristol (Main River - Bristol to Avonmouth).
Early plans for the River Avon - Bristol (Main River - Bristol to Avonmouth) between Canterbury and Oldley were proposed by Benjamin Outram but languished until Exuperius Picking Junior was appointed as engineer in 1782. In 1905 the Stroud and Newfield Canal built a branch to join at Brighton. In 2001 the canal became famous when Oliver Hunter made a model of Guildford Tunnel out of matchsticks for a bet.
