When the manually controlled level crossing at Joan Croft Junction was closed in 2014 the nearby bridge, constructed to Network Rail's latest specifications, was then able to carry the infrequent road traffic that used the minor road. The crossing infrastructure was removed and the road blocked by a combination of palisade fencing and an access gate. However, strangely one of the large iron posts on which one of the gates were hung and from which it swung remained in place. Now looking rather rusty and dilapidated it is a reminder of what used to be here.
