Trains approaching [[Kidderminster | Kidderminster station]] can be seen coming into view beneath Kidderminster Footbridge. The footbridge carries a public right of way between Hoo Road (near Kidderminster Harriers Football Club) and Chester Road South, crossing over both the SVR lines and the adjacent Kidderminster to Hartlebury main line. There is no direct access between the footbridge and the SVR.The bridge carries a Network Rail plaque identifying it as Bridge 104, situated at 135 miles 22 chains. It has not been allocated a number in the SVR's [[List of infrastructure]]. Similar plaques from the BR era can still be seen on [[Worcester Road Bridge]] (Bridge 2) and [[Falling Sands Viaduct]] (Bridge 3).<gallery>File:Bridge 104 20180408.jpg|Network Rail Bridge Number</gallery>
A footbridge has existed at this location since it replaced a level crossing in the 19th century. Earlier bridges were of wooden construction, hence the current bridge is still sometimes referred to locally as 'the wooden bridge'<ref>SVR Souvenir Guide</ref>.
