In my opinion Black Potts footbridge in Datchet is rotten, steadily collapsing and dangerous. This footpath should be both officially and effectively closed. My advice is to keep off the bridge.
The image below is dated 10-7-2025. The barrier is ineffective and RBWM has been informed.
The lower beam is severely cracked at the second node to the left of the support column.
This is the close-up view
You have been warned.
