Greta Bridge in Keswick

This bridge carries the dual carriageway (A66) over the River Greta's wooded valley, passing over the old railway track that is now a cycle/pathway between Keswick and Threlkeld. You can see Causey Pike (I think!) in the distance, below the bridge.

For a big concrete structure, the bridge is actually quite aesthetically pleasing and certainly not the eyesore you'd think it'd be in the midst of such natural beauty. There's a plaque underneath it that says.....'GRETA BRIDGE Voted Best Concrete Engineering Structure Of The Century September 1999', apparently as voted for by the readers of Concrete Magazine!

I reduced highlights post-production to take the glare out of the sky (again!).
