Temple footbridge, which crosses the River Thames upstream of Temple lock near Marlow, was created in 1989 partially using community funding. It was constructed from tropical hardwood and had an approximate design life of 30 years.

Keeping the public safe is one of our highest priorities and we (Environment Agency) closed Temple Footbridge on 15 May 2023 due to numerous structural and safety concerns. We know the bridge is important to both local people and visitors using the Thames Path, and we are treating this matter as a priority.
