Sheepwash Bridge in Northumberland carries the A1068 road from Guide Post to Ashington. It replaced a medieval bridge and has a two-span footbridge alongside it. The footbridge was assembled nearby and positioned using a crane. In 1968, a weight restriction of 9 tons was imposed until strengthening work was completed, and a footbridge was added. Major repairs were done in 2008, and the bridge is now painted dark green. A footpath runs along the river's north bank towards North Seaton. The bridge, built around 1900, is a beam-type structure with lattice girders supported by stone piers.
