The first prototype was built at a test centre in Long Marston, Warwickshire, in June 2021.
It is the first of its type in the county and the so-called Flow bridge, at Wistanstow, near Craven Arms, is made of fibre-reinforced polymer .One of the designers said it had built-in sensors and could be moved elsewhere if it was not used enough. Andy Cross, the concept designer for Network Rail, said he went into the project "with an open mind" and wanted to give communities "something better than the old steel bridges that you see dotted around the country".
