Cycling

Sutton lock footbridge is a swing bridge over the lock that controls access to Sutton Harbor in Plymouth, a city in the southwest of England. The bridge was installed in 1998 as part of the lock, which has a double function: managing the risk of flooding and allowing maritime traffic, such as fishing boats, to enter the harbour. The bridge was closed in August 2017 after a bearing broke, but reopened in April 2019 after repairs.
