The Old Bridge. There are several bridges across the Great Ouse to Huntingdon. The Old Bridge, Huntingdon, a historic, medieval bridge, was the only road until 1975. In that year the original bypass route which is now used as a local road was built. Pedestrian traffic across the river is principally served by three additional footbridges.
Its replacement, Ouse Bridge, was a wooden bridge built about 380 yards (350 m) downstream by the Vikings. It has been rebuilt three times, most recently between 1810 and 1820. The Scarborough Railway Bridge of 1845 was the third to be built and was followed by two more road bridges, Lendal Bridge in 1863 and Skeldergate Bridge in 1882.

The bridge underwent significant changes in the 19th century, with a widening project in 1818 that used wood being superseded in 1874 with the use of brick. It is Grade I listed and a Scheduled Ancient Monument. There is also a Barford Bridge which carries the River Ise over the A43 road between Rushton and Geddington in Northamptonshire.
The original toll bridge was 200 feet (60 m) in length and 18 feet (5.6 m) in width.

[12] The Selby Toll Bridge is believed to be the first moveable bridge in the world to use ball-bearings. [13]
