Description

The bridge was repaired and strengthened in 1971, as noted on a plate affixed to it. It is constructed from engineering bricks laid in English Bond and features a semi-circular arch with splayed abutments. The bridge has a projecting brick carriageway band, a humped carriageway, and splayed approach walls. The parapet copings are rounded stone, and there are four-way rounded pier caps.
