[[File:Old railway bridge at Blandford Forum.jpg|thumb|The former [[Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway]] bridge at Blandford Forum.

* Barracks Road and Cavalry Street bridges north of the A671 Westway in [[Burnley]], [[Lancashire]], cross the East Lancashire railway line and were stopped up at both ends following the construction of the [[M65 motorway|M65]] in 1981.
* An abandoned highway bridge at {{coord|51.279002|-0.154646|scale:5000|display=inline}}. It was planned for the [[M23 motorway|M23]] to extended further north from its abrupt ending as part of the [[London Ringways]] scheme. Some of the southern end is still accessible and used as a depot for highway maintenance, but most of it is fenced off, notably when the A23 and open M23 pass under wide bridges.
* One part of the Borough Road, [[Birkenhead]] A5227 flyover adjoining to [[Queensway Tunnel]] is incomplete.
* [[M8 Bridge to Nowhere]], two separate bridges over the M8 motorway in [[Glasgow]]: one eventually had an office block constructed on it; the other, originally built in the 1970s, remained unfinished until July 2013.
* A stub protruding from a road bridge across the [[A1020 road|A1020]] around [[Beckton]] which forms part of a southbound exit. It was planned to be part of a cancelled approach to the East London River Crossing.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mansfield |first=Ian |date=22 January 2020 |title=East London's unused heliport and unbuilt bridge |url=https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/east-londons-unused-heliport-and-unbuilt-bridge-34998/ |website=ianvisits}}</ref>
