This stone arch bridge carries the Scalford - Eastwell road over the abandoned mineral railway which once ran from Holwell Junction to Wycomb Junction, built to carry ironstone from the numerous quarries which once peppered the Belvoir escarpment. The bridge is still maintained by British Rail's successors, and has ELR asset code HLB17.
