Where is there a bridge over The Thames which has both ends on the

Dagenham. Somewhere along there, anyway. Bound to be.

Honestly, the lot of you can stop fussing over that piddling little
stream out west, the truth lies in the east - as i said, in mystical
Dagenham:

Ooh, that's good, definite bonus points. However, strictly a bridge is "a
structure that allows people or vehicles to cross an obstacle such as a
river or canal or railway etc" And that thing is not a bridge for getting
from Dagenham to Dagenham but two bridges linking Dagenham to the ship.

There are also some structures on the south bank around Erith that
might count as bridges, although some would doubtless claim they
were merely flying promenades.

And, slightly less far east, at Limehouse Dock:

I think that patch of water might technically be the Thames, since
it's seaward of the last lock gate. But if that counts, there are
loads of bridges that do.

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.
