Situated on the River Nene some six kilometres upstream from the open sea, Port Sutton Bridge is a small dry cargo port and warehouse complex located on the east coast close the UK's industrial and agricultural heartland. 

Sutton Bridge is so called because of the swing bridge over the River Nene. The bridge, more correctly called Cross Keys Bridge, was built for the railway in 1897 but now carries the busy A17 road between Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
