The railway and footpath bridge is in two distinct halves either side of the tip of the disused Merchant’s Quay which it crosses. The south western section was originally a swing bridge allowing boats to access Workington Harbour. The bridge carries the railway from Workington Steelworks to Workington Dock, mainly used for transporting rails for export. The footpath leads from Curwen Road to Northside and is also the Cumbria Coastal Way; National Cycle Route 71 also follows the same very narrow path.
