A multi-storey car park was constructed following this civil engineering work. The exposed box girder bridge marks the spot where - a generation ago - rail lines from Altrincham station used to run under the roadway to sidings and marshalling yards hers. In the 19th century - around 1849 - this was the site of Altrincham's first railway station - then known as "Bowdon Station". Later it was moved to its present site, further north, and re-named "Altrincham".
