Skew Bridge is actually two bridges about 50 metres apart. The bridge ahead carries the A3102 Bath Road over the railway to and from South Wales via Bristol Parkway. The other bridge carries the railway to and from Bristol via Chippenham and Bath. The location is a few hundred metres west of the railway junction. At the points where the road passes over, the South Wales line is orientated NW-SE whereas the other tracks are orientated WNW-ESE hence the name Skew Bridge.
