the work, assisted by the
Commissioners of Sewers for the Rape of Bramber. Finance for the scheme would come from rates levied on owners of land which would benefit from the new drainage scheme. The river channel was dredged, the banks were raised, and a towpath was constructed. The river was to be made suitable for barges drawing 3 feet (0.9 m) of water, and tolls for the use of the river as specified by the Act were very low, but the work was completed, and a navigable depth of 4 feet (1.2 m) was achieved.

noted that
Shoreham was a seafaring town, with many of the inhabitants being ship's carpenters, chandlers or otherwise involved in trades connected with shipbuilding. At the time, the hinterland was able to supply large quantities of cheap timber, and although larger ships could not navigate up the river, it was used to float large rafts of timber from Bramber, Steyning and beyond down to the ship yards. This trade gradually declined as the forests were felled.

Replacing a previous structure which was beyond economic repair, it cost £10 million and was opened by the Duke of Gloucester. It was named the Adur Ferry Bridge after a public vote was held. The river enters the English Channel at Shoreham. The mouth of the Adur is now two miles (3 km) from the town centre of Shoreham due to
