The bridge carries Birdston Road over the line of the former Campsie Branch (Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway) which opened in 1848 and closed in 1966. The bridge crosses over the former Milton of Campsie Station. Part of the arch of the bridge has been infilled and the Strathkelvin Railway Path now runs through a large pipe. The platforms used to continue under the bridge, and one can be seen on the far side of the opening to the left of the figure.
