It is difficult to believe now that until the mid 1960s this bridge over the Luggie Water carried the main trunk road, the A73, which was very busy even in the 1960s because it was then the main connecting road between the A74 at Abington and the A80 at Cumbernauld. It was first bypassed by another road into an expanding Cumbernauld. By about 1970, the A73 moved further west joining the A80 at the Auchenkilns roundabout.
