The rather ugly concrete arch was built in 1933 when the Bleach Green viaducts at Whiteabbey, completed at the same time, enabled trains to bypass Greenisland where they formerly had to reverse thus improving the service to Derry. The path beneath the arch leads from the Three Mile Glen to the Old Carrickfergus Road and links up with the Ulster Way up to Woodburn Forest.
