caption_attribution_description: English: Chester - Fairfield Road bridge. Chester. On the disused Mickle Trafford railway just east of the Fairfield Road bridge. The rail track is being developed by SusTrans as a cycleway and this part will also soon be the new extension of the Longster Trail running from Guilden Sutton to Blacon. The traffic cones and JCB tracks are a positive indication that SusTrans work was in progress at the time the picture was taken! Compare with 641207 taken from the other side of the bridge looking away from Chester.
