The Bailey Bridge (also known as Walton Bridge[1]) is a crossing of the River Trent at Walton-on-Trent on the border of Derbyshire and Staffordshire in England. The bridge is only one lane wide with access controlled by a tidal flow system controlled by signals at either end of the bridge. A separate footbridge is attached to the northern side of the structure.
