An opening had to be made in an existing railway embankment dating from 1848 to allow the later 20th century ring road (A6120) to pass through, which explains why the bridge is a steel girder design rather than a stone arch as elsewhere on the line. This view is from the west side. SeeImage for a view looking from a train on the bridge back over the road.
