Waterworks Crossing is situated north of milepost 145&frac34;. It provides access for a private road to the Severn Trent Waterworks South Staffordshire Water Company’s treatment plant on the eastern side of the river via a bridge over Severn. The plant, which can be seen on the left in the second picture, provides water to the Severn Trent system<ref Name = "FTW">From the riverWindow, SVR publication</ref>. The bridge  Water is piped to the treatment plant from nearby Chelmarsh Reservoir, which is supported by close to the railway on the western side, although not visible from it. After passing under the railway in the vicinity of the crossing, the pipes cross the Severn, forming the two arched water carrying pipes blue arches that support the decking of the private road bridge span<ref name = "FTW" />.
The crossing was used as a filming location in the 1977 Walt Disney Productions live action family film [[Candleshoe]].
The crossing is normally gated when not in use, as seen in the first photograph.
