This bridge takes the West Coast Main Line over Watling Street (once the A5). The railway tracks skew sharply over the road, hence the length of the tunnel like structure. This point was where prior to September 1838, passengers had to change to a road coach and travel to Rugby to regain the railway. This was due to the late completion of Kilsby Tunnel, south of Rugby, which had many problems with its construction.
