strictly a bridge is "a
structure that allows people or vehicles to cross an obstacle such as a
river or canal or railway etc"

The bridge I have in mind was built in 2004. It is not over an inlet,
outlet, creek or dock, but is over the main flow of the Thames.

So it allows people or vehicles to cross an obstacle, and it is over
the main flow of the Thames.
It clearly doesn't allow them to cross the Thames, since both its ends
are on the same side, so it must allow people or vehicles to cross
something else.

My guess is there is some section of the Thames Path which is
cantilevered over the river to get round something.

Is it the Canary Wharf to West India Quay pedestrian bridge ?

Goodness me, I wouldn't want to rely on the "road map" that's overlaid
on the image (especially to the right end of that bridge).

I've got a mate who swears by Google's road maps.

Mind you, he drives a bulldozer.

Well, if it wasn't for the fact that this is a London group, I'd guess
it was in the villages out west where some new village bypass goes
from one side of a meander to the other, but I don't know where.

Or it's a trick question. Maybe there's a pub called The Thames under
a bridge somewhere (that doesn't span the River Thames)?

The wrong answers are so much better than the right one.

Have to hold my hand up and say I used Google with Basil's later clues to

Hurumph! Just noticed that Basil Jet posted the answer 13:43 today. Must
