The bridge was built in the early 19C, and widened on the north-east side in the 20C. It has two segmental arches and central triangular cutwaters with pedestrian refuges above them. It seems that Lancashire bridges often have the name of the bridge inscribed on them. In this case the word 'Lancashire' before 'C.C.' has been lost, presumably when the bridge was widened.
