The bridge was opened in September 2016. It crosses the Cumbrian Coast railway line, and is accessible by pedestrians, cyclists and wheelchair users. It is the welcome replacement for an uninviting old bridge (Geograph photos http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1197295 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1197294 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1197293 ), which has now been demolished. This end of the bridge is at Lund Crescent, Currock. The ramp comes down near Maryport Cottages, where a bridge across the River Caldew connects to Denton Holme. The project was funded by the Cumbria Local Enterprise Partnership, it was managed by Cumbria County Council, and the main contractor was Story Contracting (for more information see http://www.cumbria.gov.uk/communications/currockbridge.asp ).
