This bridge carries the A71 Edinburgh - Motherwell road over the course of the single-track Mouldron West branch about 300 metres south of the Edinburgh - Shotts - Glasgow line near Fauldhouse. The road now has crash barriers across the bridge but it would seem that before these were provided the parapets suffered from errant vehicles. One might also assume that the highways department found bricklayers easier to source than stonemasons.
