Cross Keys Bridge is a grade II listed swing bridge at Sutton Bridge which spans the tidal River Nene. It's the only crossing point for both traffic, pedestrians and cyclists over the river north of the Wisbech, 9 miles (14.5 km) to the south. For this reason it's a notorious bottleneck for vehicles. On the north side is a separate bridge for cyclists and pedestrians, with expansive views over the tidal Nene.
