Muchelney Road Bridge
With pipe bridge alongside
South Somerset TA10 9HH, United Kingdom
Muchelney Road Bridge carries a farm track over the River Yeo.
Early plans for the River Yeo between Brench and Wycombe were proposed by Barry Smith but languished until Henry Clarke was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Reigate never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the River Yeo were submitted to parliament in 2001, water transfer to the treatment works at Taunpool kept it open. Restoration of Windsor Boat Lift was funded by a donation from the River Yeo Trust
