This accommodation bridge is constructed of dark red brick and features an elliptical arch made of one and a half brick rings. At the base of the parapet, there is a flat band, and the bridge is topped with half round stone copings that end in brick piers. At both ends of the bridge, there are lozenge-shaped cast iron loading prohibition signs on timber posts, installed by the Great Western Railway, which restrict the load to 3/5 tons.
