A bridge over the Vine Water appears to be mentioned by Leland in 1549. He refers to a chapel on 'the north side of the first bridge'. Polwhele refers to 'a bridge on the Vine, built, but a short time since, of stone and brick'. Like Fenny Bridge, the bridge over the Vine Water was replaced with one designed by James Green in 1809. This was destroyed by a flood in 1968. Temporary bridging was erected by the army before a new, the current, bridge was built.
