This was originally a drawbridge over the Carlisle Canal, in operation between 1823-1853. The height of the bridge was raised when the canal was replaced by a railway along the same route (Port Carlisle Railway http://www.cumbria-railways.co.uk/port-carlisle-railway.html ). The line was later extended to Silloth, but closed in 1964. The top of the bridge is shown here Image . West Green Bridge is a Grade II listed building - see Historic England for details https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1335634 .
