The bridge takes the B5302 over the line of the former Carlisle and Silloth Bay Railway. The railway operated between 1856 and 1964 - for more information see http://www.cumbria-railways.co.uk/carlisle_silloth_bay_railway.html . There were several tracks on the land in front of the bridge, which is now the smooth pitch of Silloth Rugby Club.
