About Windmill Bridge

Three Bridges, known formally as Windmill Bridge, is a three-level crossing of transportation routes in Southall, Greater London, England. Despite its name, the landmark features only two bridges—a road bridge over a canal, which is carried in an aqueduct over a railway, which is in a cutting. A road bridge spanned the canal since the early 18th century but the structure was replaced when the railway was built in 1856.
