The bridge was probably built principally to allow the passage of cattle under the railway, but it now serves the extensive network of paths on the various Cambridge commons. Cattle grids are a feature of the network, necessary because of the high levels of cycle traffic and the fact that traditional rights to graze cattle on the commons are still exercised.
