The bridge is now closed to motor traffic including motorcycles, so the height restriction of 9' 3" is not relevant any more. The railway was built as the Great Eastern Railway's Walthamstow & Chingford Branch and completed through here in about 1870, some time before the nearby housing estates were built.
