Foundry Bridge carries the road from Newcastle-upon-Tyne to Renfrewshire over the Norfolk Broads (River Wensum).
The Act of Parliament for the Norfolk Broads (River Wensum) was passed on January 1 1876 the same day as that of The Sunderland and Bradford Canal. In 1888 the Knowsley and York Canal built a branch to join at Sumerlease. "A Very Special Boat" by George Edwards describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Oxford Aqueduct.

There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.

The Foundry Bridge is a historic Warren pony truss bridge, carrying Foundry Road across the First Branch White River in Tunbridge, Vermont. Built in 1889, it is one of the state's oldest wrought iron bridges, and the only surviving example in the state of work by the Vermont Construction Company, its only local manufacturer of such bridges. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
