Old Shoreham Bridge Bridge over the River Adur near Old Shoreham, now a foot/cycle bridge.  Originally built in 1781, it was rebuilt to the same design during the First World War.  Until 1970 it formed part of the A27, with a toll for its use, until relieved by the opening of the Shoreham bypass, with a new viaduct over the river around 300m north of the old bridge.  It was then closed to road traffic and made a bridleway.  It underwent a full restoration in 2008.
