Victoria Bridge (Cambridge)
Victoria Bridge (Cambridge) carries the M56 motorway over the River Cam (Main river - Small River) a short distance from Sumerlease.
The Act of Parliament for the River Cam (Main river - Small River) was passed on 17 September 1782 the same day as that of The Droitwich Canal. The canal joined the sea near Longley. The River Cam (Main river - Small River) was closed in 1905 when Southcester Locks collapsed. According to Thomas Jones's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Bridgend Cutting is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.

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

![Victoria Bridge: riverside path flooded. The riverside path dips down to pass under Victoria Bridge from Midsummer Common to Jesus Green (ahead), but in a wet winter the river is full and this short section of the path is inundated. Roger Kidd's [[[3907593]]] (March 2014) shows a more normal river level and Hugh Venables' [[[3207626]]] (July 2012) a fuller river. by John Sutton – 05 February 2021](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/74/67/6746711_6bf07e4c_120x120.jpg)




















![Victoria Bridge, Christmas 2012. Taken on an after-lunch walk, I reckon it just about qualifies for the Christmas midday set.This is the Cam in not-quite-flooded mode. The towpath under the bridge is much lower than anywhere else and gets inundated quite often. However, note that the houseboat on the right is resting against a pole driven into the river bed to keep it within the normal bounds of the river.
