Similar to the bridge a little further south over Townsend Avenue Image, the reason for this substantial structure is that the railway crossed the dual carriageway Walton Hall Avenue (A580) at this point in a single span of about 45 metres. Therefore a deep truss bridge that contains the stresses within itself gave ore clearance than a traditional arch. See Image for a side view.
