By the time the bridge was built in 1981, the railway had already been closed to normal service and converted to a test track. Despite the fact that the terminus of the line is only a couple of hundred metres further on, a bridge was constructed rather than cut the line short. Furthermore, the bridge was built with sufficient span to accommodate a second carriageway, although after more than 30 years there is still no sign of this.
