caption_attribution_description: English: Walton Bridge. The temporary bridge, built in 1953 and used until 1999 when a second temporary bridge was built to take traffic. Both bridges are still there while they debate plans for another bridge on the site.
context_page_description: The Callender-Hamilton bridge is a modular portable pre-fabricated truss bridge. It is primarily designed for use as permanent civil bridging as well as for emergency bridge replacement and for construction by military engineering units. Assembling a Callender-Hamilton bridge takes much longer than the more familiar Bailey bridge as it is made up of individual lengths of galvanised steel bolted together with galvanised high-strength steel bolts, all of which require torque settings. It is stronger and simpler in design concept than the Bailey bridge.
