Cross Keys Bridge, a Victorian Engineering masterpiece, was opened in 1897 to carry road and rail traffic and is positioned on the River Nene between The Wash, Port Sutton Bridge and the Port of Wisbech about seven mile upstream. With the closure of the rail line in 1965 it was converted to take road traffic only but continues to swing open to facilitate marine access to Wisbech.
