Closed underpass under the M6

Previously Metal Bridge Inn and the adjoining houses were accessed directly from the northbound carriageway of the A74 and an underpass under the road next to the River Esk also gave access to the southbound carriageway. With the conversion of the main road to motorway, access to Metal Bridge is by the new all-purpose road alongside, and the underpass is redundant and closed at the eastern end.
