  An absolutely scintillating experience. Will definitely come again. Obviously well looked after as stinks of paint 🤪🤪 but could be abit more waterproof, is leaking in places. A jewel of the south east.

  Exceptional engineering, a true marvel. I regularly travel to Scott Mills Bridge for the view down the M3, never mind the fine food on offer locally like KFC or McD’s.

  The Scott Mills Bridge completely changed my perspective. When I arrived, I was just some regular guy, standing in the Northbound services, staring South across the M3. But, before my visit was over, everything had changed and I found myself in the Southbound services, gazing Northwards. You too can find yourself in Fleet Southbound services - all you have to do is take the Scott Mills Bridge from the Northbound rest area. (Stairs directly outside the toilets). It was the same indistinct stretch of motorway that I had beheld only moments earlier, yet now I was able to contemplate it from an entirely different angle. For the first time I understood what it means to see something from both sides, literally! "I don't think we're in Kansas any more," I muttered to nobody in particular, like some kind of giant, moronic cliché. And, in a very real sense, I was right. Don't be caught out by the bridge's popularity. It must be one of the busiest tourist attractions I have visited. In the short time I was there, several hundred tourists drove past - in both directions. Although the view from the road is adequate, they were all missing out IMHO. The best way to experience the overpass is to pull into the car park, nip over the bridge on foot, and grab yourself a Burger King on the other side. [Chef kiss] Unsurprisingly, I am not the only person to have taken inspiration from this nondescript little motorway crossing. Back in the early 90's, a little known Hampshire-based DJ was evidently so impressed by his visit to the famous span that he changed his name to that of the bridge itself: Scott Mills. And that young man eventually went on to host his own national show on BBC Radio 1. This just goes to show, if you are looking to forge a career in the entertainment industry, then you could do a lot worse than changing your name to that of an inspirational bridge. Kind regards, Sidney Harbour. PS - If you are planning a family day out around your visit to the Scott Mills Bridge, LEGOLAND Windsor Resort is less than half an hour's drive, while Chessington World of Adventures & Greater London are reachable in under 45 minutes.

  A well-respected and symbolic bridge connecting both sides of Fleet Services, a decent Welcome Break. I often associate the bridge as a sign that I'm headed towards a great trip to the South West when I pass it on the M3 below. This bridge, however, has no step-free access, so keep this in mind. Also, bear in mind that this is probably one of the hottest places in the country you could ever visit if you use it on an even moderately-hot day, as on that front it's vastly similar to a greenhouse. The temperatures within are truly scorching, so you'd best avoid it on a very hot day (by England standards 30 degrees celsius or higher) all together! Despite this I'd reccomend the experience of walking through it and seeing the M3 beneath you, provided you're able to use the stairs and you don't visit on a hot day of course!
