Here, Dewsbury Road becomes Parkfield Street on its way into Leeds, probably due to highway re-alignments during the construction of the M621 (then M1) in 1969. The bridge is an original railway bridge now owned by Railtrack. The structure under the verges has insufficient capacity to carry vehicle wheel loads, and therefore has been protected by the red and white steel barriers.
