Eton Road Bridge Improvement?

Posted on August 4, 2025August 11, 2025 by ecwlarcombe

Please see following Member Question – to the Lead Member for Highways – for the next RBWM Council Meeting:

Eton Road Bridge – East end

Eton Road Bridge – West end

[Further information added 11-8-2025]  Below is an image of the Thames Water access on the verge that has been damaged by heavy vehicles.

MEMBER QUESTION:

The appearance of the road bridge over the Jubilee River between Eton and Datchet is hideous, and the misuse is shocking.

There is no view [of the Jubilee River – upstream or downstream] due to the excessive height of the red brick parapet walls, the deck has become a parking place for cars/coaches and the verges are destroyed.  Would you consider an improvement programme please?

DATCHET

The name "Datchet" is thought to be Celtic in origin, and the last part may be related to cet ("wood"). In the Domesday Book it is called "Daceta".lla. Datchet is first mentioned between 990 and 994, when King Ethelred made small grants of land here.

HORTON

The village name "Horton" is a common one in England. It is Old English in origin and derives from the two words horu 'dirt' and tūn 'settlement, farm, estate', presumably meaning 'farm on muddy soil'.In the Domesday Book of 1086 it was recorded as Hortune.

WRAYSBURY

The village name was traditionally spelt Wyrardisbury; it is Anglo Saxon in origin and means 'Wïgrǣd's fort'. Its name is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Wirecesberie and as Wiredesbur in 1195. The name is seen again as Wyrardesbury in 1422.
